The body fasteners is a thing I also have a problem with every time, on this car I drilled a deep hole before painting for each fastener and used Hiro rivets instead a photoetch fasteners enclosed in the kit. It is much easier to work with as you can glue it deeper in the hole and you don't have those difficulties placing it at a right place. I know they might look a bit oversized when calculating the measures but they are certainly not bigger than the ones provided in the kit and look quite OK on the model.
Good solution. Personally my favorite are Hobby Design Flat Rivets (C), exactly for the same reason you stated. I don't think they look oversized.
Cheers,
Chris
