[Elecraft] K3 Assembly - rear panel

[Gordon & Lois Duff]

I got my K3 yesterday (SN 132, order confirmation 5/1).  I am happily
assembling it, but I have come across a possible problem.

 

I am on page 21, the 4th step where the bottom of the rear panel is fastened
to the rf board via 4-40 pan head screws.   The screw holes in the rear
panel at the bottom have not been countersunk. This causes the screws to
protrude.  The holes in the top of the rear panel have been counter sunk.
So the questions are: A, should the holes have been countersunk?      B)
should I proceed with assembly and while awaiting a new panel?  C) Should I
countersink the holes myself?
