The cork gasket is a nice part. The small holes should be slightly smaller than the screws, so you will push the screws through the gasket. When the screws are tightened, the gasket will squeeze thinner as the cork will constrict to seal around he screws, so fuel cannot leak through or past the screw threads.

Aftermarket rubber gaskets will invariably have clearance holes round the screws, so the gasket will not seal round the screws. Moss Motors prescribed fix for this is a set of six nylon washers to seal under the screw heads.
