Riveting the trim tab horn

I know the answer is out there...somewhere. I'm riveting the trim tab horn to the bottom of the trim tab. I've tried a few different angles, but cannot seem to reach the aft most rivet on the longer tab horn. How do you get a solid rivet in there? Or, are folks putting a blind rivet in there?

It's the smaller tab horn for electric trim, if that makes any difference.

Thanks!
 
I just got through drilling out the rivets for the manual trim tab horn and replaced with the lower profile horn for electric trim tab. I was able to squeeze a solid rivet in that location using a longeron yoke. It was a tight fit, but doable.
