What is the recommended way to dimple in the very tight spots.

​I have a nice dimple machine for the regular work and have ordered a 1024 pop rivet dimpler from Avery, I am not sure that will work as it is machined for 100 degree, but says that it will also work for 120 degree and I am skeptical of that.
