Default wing root fairing rivet interference

My wing root fairing with the rubber installed lays right on top of these two rivets which is just above where the main spar enters the fuselage. Should these be flush rivets so the rubber lays down flat?

Those rivets were close on mine, but the rubber gap seal sits just fine on them. I wouldn't swap those out to flush rivets at this point, but for future builders it might be something to consider.
