I don’t think that’s the issue, since it’s the pair of small holes that are at fault here. I’m pretty sure they’re referring to how they appear as dots between the Viking helmet’s horns on the opposite side of the PCB. I think the big hole is for the lanyard.

Brumby:
If you really wanted the really clean solder mask finish, I would suggest a four layer board with blind holes for your mounting tabs.  Not the cheapest option, but your finish would be as good as you could get.

Frillo:
Let me reiterate: For this switch you need the guide holes. If you don't want holes, pick a switch desgined to not need them i.e. a bigger one with more robust solderable pads.

ebastler:
Reposition the switch, such that the two holes fit in as the viking's eyes.  ;)
(Or nostrils, depending on the scale of the image...)
