Assembling new juki ddl 5500

Question

I just got a juki ddl 5500 and I am trying to put it together. The instructions say to nail the operator side of the oil pan to the table and to use rubber cement on he other side. But the pan seems a little bit too small for the table and I am not sure how to nail the side down given that there are rubber stops to either cover the nail with before I nail it down or to cover it after the nail has been hammered in.Basically I am wanting to know the best way to attach the oil pan to the table
