rivets for vent window latch 120-130

Trying to rivet various parts to my newly rechromed vent window frame. First up is the vent window latch; I'm not sure if pop rivets are gonna work, since even after the center pin has pulled the shank (?) back, it will still be sticking out enough to get in the way of the glass.

I have a round metal piece which will fit inside the frame, and I can smack the end of rivet to compact it a bit more, but doesn't look like it will be enough.

I believe the shank length of this rivet is 5/16", was the shortest I could find. Anybody try this repair before? Should I try another type of rivet? Any advice appreciated as usual.
