Inboard tank rib tooling holes

Ok...Silly question here. I've been researching as much as I can but cannot find the answer. Do I need to worry about edge distance to the tooling holes when attaching the T-407 ring and the T-405 angle to the tank rib? Almost all of the build logs show the one rivet for the stiffener ring nutplate awfully close to that tooling hole. Don't know if I should rotate the ring slightly, but that affects the anti-hangup guide a bit.
Do I need to be concerned with the flop tube hole. My gut says I might be ok there.

Not a problem. The holes are not stress points & the sealant you apply between the metal sandwich structure fills the holes in.
