The 2 small holes on the rib and the nut plate have to be drilled out to fit a 3.2mm rivet (that is not mentioned in the instructions). I used my chucking reamers (#31 and then the #30) to do the job.
EDIT: I think I was mistaken here. There are smaller 2.4mm rivets for just this purpose. I don't think there's an issue with using the larger rivets, but I would have appreciated a note in the instructions that there are smaller special rivets in the kit for this because it was the first time needing them and I wasn't aware of them (I suppose I should have been...).
