FWIW, I detest those darned rivnuts. The only ones you want to use are keyed so they won't slip. Otherwise, they are really bad about slipping at the least convenient time, often times leaving you with a bit of a problem since they are usually installed in a "blind" area where you can't get to the back side to hold them when they slip. If you must use one, only use a keyed rivnut. I would rather attempt to helicoil the thin aluminum plate than create a future problem by use of a rivnut.
