Drill a smaller hole across the other side of the plate. You need a way for the air to get out as you put the "stuff" (of whatever kind) in. Most people seem to use brake fluid or oil; I believe there is less of a meniscus on those so they are easier to measure with.

BTDT...oil and brake fluid will wreck the syringe, it's a hell of a mess and not very environmentally friendly. Almost any fluid will work, some are just easier and faster.
The 2nd hole will work but I have never needed it.
Oh, I forgot, smear a thin layer of grease on the outer edge to get a good seal.
