Not at all, always good to receive advice/opinions regardless.

No screwdrivers then?

Phew, that was a bit close…!

Just replying to confirm that those flat-backed bosses are what you need and that they go on top of the curved bosses that are fixed to the frame. You had to use these on most alloy frames back in the day, like Vitus 979s etc.
