Mid-fuselage bottom skins tab question

I guess I'm getting to those parts where the instructions are not as explicit, so thought I'd check what I'm understanding:
On page 26-7 (Mid-fuselage ribs and bottom skins), step 3 says:

"Dimple the remaining common holes in the center bottom skin, mid bottom skin, ribs and bulkheads (except the holes that correspond to tabs that overlay the F-1034A Fuselage Bulkhead and F-1005A Rear Spar Bulkheads lower flange)"

Am I correct in assuming those holes (referenced in bold) for the tabs should be countersunk instead? It doesn't specify what to do with them.

Thanks!

Yes you countersink the F-1005 rear spar bulkhead where the ribs overlap it.
There?s an annotation hiding on the diagram top left of the page.
Cheers

Thanks! When I came into the shop today it was immediately obvious why I missed that annotation:

Let's pretend this never happened :)
