I do the backriveting on the garage floor. That way I can use my knee, shoulder, head, whatever to hold the skin out of the way while my free hand holds the skin flat to the plate (important!). Pretty much what the others have said. Don't un-bend the trailing edge. You can curl the skin back enough to get in there. Thousands have gone before you.
