Attaching Stove Pipe, Baby Bear

[ChillyB]

Last stove was a top vent so gravity helped.

I am attaching a Duravent 6DBK-ADDB skirted adapter to rear vent Baby Bear. How does one properly attach the adapter to the stove vent? The vent seems too thick to simply jam a self tapping screw in there (I think?). What do the cool kids do?

Drill the right size hole and self tappers work

Thanks. Any preference on seam location? Not on bottom seems logical.

I usually try to avoid the seam on the bottom
