Best with a close up photo and a ruler to try and match the weave. Lets have a look and maybe we can come up with an alternative solution. Its best to
use a piece of card or hardboard to sort the layout on, then transfer that over to the real thing once your happy its ok

I wasn't going to tell what I had done as it is @$$$!@@ stupid!!!!!!!!!
But here goes....
I had marked out both the scuttle and tunnel cover for the switches and clocks. I did the scuttle no problem with the small hole saw and then needed
some large holes for the clocks to fit so changed the hole saw....went and made a cup of coffee came out to do the tunnel cover.....can you see where
this is going!!! YES - I forgot to change back to the smaller holesaw!!
The holes are now 25mm diameter instead of 22mm, so I just want small piece of carbon to cut out 22mm holes and place over the oversize holes
Edited to add: Tunnel cover is not carbon but Blue with a Black inset top

Why not make some nice shiny aluminium bezels to reduce the hole size?
