Tooling hole near fuel tank inspection plate

There is a tooling hole on the inboard rib that is pretty much covered by the fuel tank inspection plate cork gasket. It is fairly close to the edge of the plate and I am worried it will leak. Just curious what others have done with this hole?
 
Just dab some proseal in the hole

The inspection plate just barely covered the hole on mine but it did cover it.
I chose to proseal the inspection cover on with no gasket as others have suggested. The nutplate ring covers the hole on the inside also, so I just dabbed a little extra proseal in the hole. No leaks when tested.

I just finished riveting the last two inside ribs on my LAST (right) tank tonight.
I've riveted the tanks by myself. Got pretty good with the left hand thumb on trigger riveting.
All I have left are the end ribs and of course the baffle plate, but those are easy. ;)
