Default Softail Custom Passing Light Bar install

Softail Custom, passing light install question.

Two indentations under my fork plate below my headlight indicated by the tip of my screwdriver. Can I drill these out to install my passing light bracket to?

Installing an aftermarket passing light bar to a 2008 Fxstc. Note no instructions came with it. Suppose to be a universal bar bracket.
