This was very easy but I know how scary it is to drill into a $200.00+ dollar stock. I hope it might help someone else that opened it up only to realize a drill was necessary and there weren't any instructions. Not that they are really needed though.
Tools needed: 3/32" Hex wrench, Drill with **5/32" bit, Round File, Sharpie. I scrounged for tools, guess what's on the Christmas list now?
Start:
Remove the stock from the “Buffer Tube”, and set it aside as this is the only part of the stock you’ll need to work with.

Line up the pad with the stock and insert the lower screw into the bottom of the pad and using your 3/32"hex wrench tighten it down a bit until it’s a little snug. Lining up the pad so it is completely centered on the stock. Take out your trusty Sharpie and insert it into the hole and mark the stock. This mark is where you are going to drill your hole. Remove the pad by unscrewing the single Hex screw you installed earlier.

Using the mark you made, drill a single hole into the stock. I used a file to ensure the hole was just wide enough to slip the “grommet” into the stock.

Insert your screw into the pad and begin to screw it into the “grommet”(1).

Finish it off by screwing the remaining screws (2&3) in their appropriate holes.

**Feel free to use a slightly larger or smaller bit, I erred on the side of caution because I didn’t want the “Grommet” hole too large. Don't forget to use a smaller bit to drill a pilot hole.
Magpul States you will not be able to completely close the stock. I have to agree with them but I have almost zero loss of function with my Magpul M93A stock, if any it is negligible.
