thanks for the help

Possibly.

The sheets need to be able to expand & contract with changes in temperature. The noise stop tape allows this by providing a lowish friction surface (compared to a painted surface) for the sheets to slightly move across the surface of the battens.

The same need for expansion is the reason why the clearance holes are needed around the screws, to be able to move with minimal restriction.

Better have a chat to your builder. or buy the correct screws and drill out the holes & install.
