LP4-5 rivet too short??

Page 23-04 step 3 calls out LP4-5 rivets for 8 places on each F-1203G bulkhead side channel to F-1203A bulkhead. I installed the first two on one side and do not like the looks of the minimal shop head that was formed which while flared out does not look like a typical pulled rivet shop head. The reason is the rivet appears to be on the short side for this location. Did anyone else have concerns about this location. I did not find any posts in my search about this step other than discussing putting 2-LP4-3 rivets in the lower two holes on the bracket. I think a LP4-6 rivet would be better but trying to stay consistent with plans as Vans normally are right.
