Am I just paranoid?
I have a tendancy sometimes to sweat the really small stuff, which may be good cause it makes me careful. Here's another. While installing my Duckworks landing lights, I was drilling the holes for the nutplate in the second rib. I was using the supplied template and thought I was perfect, but the screw hole just caught the edge of the indentation in the rib which increases stiffness. I'm sure this isn't a problem, but hearing it from someone else will ease my mind.
P.S. Just because everyone's following me, doesn't mean I'm paranoid.

no worries
I'd enjoy a lovely drink to beat the heat, and not worry about the hole.

Yeah, no worries. I wouldn't even give it another thought. Have that drink.

Jorge,
No worries. My light install was what you would call "not showplane quality" yet it has served me well for over 570 hrs.

There is nothing really WRONG with where the nutplates are now, but the DW mounting plate would have to be installed backwards in order to screw into them. The flanges face forward.
If I were you, I would remove the nutplates and install them again with the DW frame the other way.
...or you could do it this way...
Tomato, tomahto... potato, potahto...
Platenut... nutplate...
Ya know...
