If you do some digging in the archives you will find some creative solutions. IIRC a small screw in the rivet hole holding a new tab.

Can you share a picture of that? I'm having a hard time visualizing this.

Also, there are a few "holes" on that board, so I'm assuming I want to use the two holes that are closest to the bottom of the calculator (and near the notch)?

The small screw is an interesting idea if I can get enough pressure on the battery pack. Although, I could always wedge some paper or a foam nose pad for eyeglasses between the bottom of the battery on the opposite side.
