Help needed please: 59 Olds 394 head gaskets

Hello hoping someone can help me need all I can get!

I am ***embling a 59 394 and noticed that the new head gaskets (best gasket # 642 from full set for 59-60 394) are blocking off the following coolant p***ages. These were not blocked off by factory gasket and my machinst left all original coolant p***age plugs in the block.

P***-Side: lower 1" coolant holes on deck (both holes between cyl # 6 and cyl # 8)
Driver-Side: lower 1" coolant hole on deck (forward hole between cyl # 5 and cyl # 7)

Don't want to install and create a problem. I've looked everywhere can't find if this is an improved gasket or if I have wrong gaskets!

Thanks!!

Don't worry about the gasket.... Just make sure the deck plugs are in like the pic....
And you'll be fine
