Dimple error

I poked a hole in a skin on my RV-14 build while dimpling. Any advice on how to repair? It’s pretty close to a proper rivet hole.
 
Extra hole

I poked a hole in a skin on my RV-14 build while dimpling. Any advice on how to repair? It’s pretty close to a proper rivet hole.

Typical repair is to add rivet equally spaced either side or one side. Bad hole can be flattened and existing hole, if usable, filled with a rivet. If not, abandone and fill it later during paint prep.
