Guide Bracket for the Rear Rudder System

I'm looking at the aft F804 Bulkhead and the fwd one, thinking what I need to do for the OP5 rear rudder install mod. It looks to me like I have to make the assembly of the rear flange onto the forward flange, and backdrill the holes for the nutplate that is added for the F-8117 guide bracket.

Is that correct? The plans page 63 show the holes as "leave alone" unless adding a read rudder control, and OP5 isn't super clear. It is interesting that the holes are present in the FWD F804 flange but not the rear one. Never does it say to back drill these into the flange that doesn't have them.
