Fin Install on Trickboardz Surf Skate

So i just got my surf skate from Trickboardz. I ordered it with fins so that i could get used to riding with fins at the start and be able to take them off later.

Heres the deal. The board is drilled with holes at each end for the fins. the 2 outside holes are not fully drilled because they are the female receptor for the 2 male plugs on the fin itself. The middle hole that is needed for the screw to go from the top to inside the fin is cut through, but the padding on top of the board is covering it up. What should i do?
thanks,
Danny

I would poke a small screwdriver through it or something like that so that it doesn't rip the padding, but will poke a hole in it, then screw on your fins

We are supposed to cut that hole before it leaves the factory. I had to fill in for an absent employee and I probably forgot to do that; my bad.
Poke a small hole, like with a sharp pencil, from the bottom, then push the screw down from the top. Work it a little and you will clean the hole out.
