 Having the drilled holes bigger that the holes in the cover PCB makes it easier for you with centering the drill and also when later on inserting the buttons and LEDs.

 '''When soldering the sockets, LEDs or switches, ...: Start with soldering just one pin. Then check the alignment. If realignment is needed, re-heat the the pin and realign. If alignment is okay, solder the remaining pins. Fixing a wrong alignment afterwards is tricky and you might ruin the PCB. So do it first time right and check alignment twice.'''
