Default fixing my rs kit

k so when i bought my car the drivers side part of the rs kit was ripped off.. so now i found the piece i need and now i need to paint and mount it.. one problem i have is that the kit was riveted to the car so when it got ripped off it left some nasty holes
whats the best way to fill in these holes so i can remount my kit? im worried that when i re drill holes to install it it might break off easy.. here is a pic of one of the holes

when i had my third gen i had to reinstall the ground effects, and the best way was to get body filler and some simple small metal plates like a 2X2 and mount that on the body like an extra tab where your hole exists so that when you fill thehole you dont attach it where you just made a repair you instead attach it a little further in this new area with the tab. But ive never had a 4th gen camaro with a body kit so i dont know what the attaching hardware or mounting tabs are like and what you have to work with
