He got it very wrong.

There should already be a hole drilled from the top into the control cavity - see mark-up.

If you haven't got a hole, then you can drill one; but you'll need a very long bit in order to get the low angle without the drill getting in the way. I'd suggest a 300mm x 4mm dia. drill as it's going to be reasonably sturdy without being too large.
