What have others done. The obvious seems to just put the universal head thru the back of the spar and drive it that way. I can not see any reason to mess with that radius. Have not tried to drive one with the universal head on the back side yet so not sure if that radius will mess with the shop head. This part is match drilled from the spar so I assume I am not the first to encounter this. What say you? This is on the inboard edge of the flap spar. Sorry about the big pic, I could not get it to resize any smaller.

I would say flip it as long as you have clearance on the back side. Also make sure that you read the plans closely. If the hold is placed correctly then there very well might be a notation to flip the rivet.

Drove them from the back and ended up not being an issue? I thought at the time the radius would interfere with the shop head. So I was wrong again.
