This is a picture of the baggage ribs and the bulkhead on my rv10. I am trying to rivet the corner. Squeezing doesn't seem possible. I can't get a driver on the manufactured head of the rivet straight enough even with a on double offset.

Can anybody please tell me how they were successful, please?

Do you have a long reach squeezer yoke? That might do it?

By "long reach" I mean the 4" one.
 
It's been quite a while, and it's hard to tell exactly what rib that is, but I shot (off set) or squeezed every one of those - how else, right?:D. I used this yolk:

I just went out and looked at all my rivets in similar locations and the all look really nice, so I obviously didn't have any extreme angles. There are times it seems that the squeezer won't work, when it actually will; I'm just not seeing the proper angle to make it work.
 
Went out and took a better look - definitely shot them with a double offset. Not sure if it helps your situation - and I'm taking it that pic is shot looking aft - but my manufactured head is on the opposite side - flange side.
