Section 27 (Firewall) Issues

F-1001G-L and F-1001G-R are mirror images of each other, including the hole pattern for a nutplate (see my photo below). But on page 27-5 (also in photo below), it only shows a nutplate on the right side. Unfortunately, I think that I match-drilled the #12 hole through F-1001A (the firewall) and F-1001B (upper angle). But I did not match drill the two nutplate attach holes. Can anybody help me figure out the best thing to do? Do I need a nutplate on both sides or only the right side? If I don't need a nutplate on the left, what should I do with this #12 hole? Should I just plan to put a bolt and nut through there instead of a rivet?

Additionally, in two places on page 27-2, the instruction text talks about fourteen K1000-3 nutlates. But on page 27-5, I count fifteen K1000-3 nutplates (not counting the potential extra one I asked about above).
