    Yeah they need to be sunk so the plate sits flat in it's recess.
    3mm maybe, something like that. It was actually a fair bit of work sinking them into the plate. Because you need a flat bottomed hole so as not to bust through the other side as well as keep the magnets seated properly you can only go so far with a pointed drill bit. I then had to square off the bottom of the hole with a little stone grinding bit on the end of the dremmel.
