Now I got almost an 1/8th of an inch for the rim to sit on, and I can see the floor through all the screw holes. Fortunatly, I have an extra panel I saved for just something like this, so I won't have to make any trips to Home Depot again.
Story to take home: never assume dimensions based off company schematics. ALWAYS measure everything.

Umm... guh  
Lol, it happens!
But remember the cut-out diameter is ALWAYS less than the actual dimeter...
