I'm not suggesting just using epoxy. Use the rivnut properly, and get it to squish itself into place, but put a bit of epoxy in there just as a belt and braces exercise. There's nothing as annoying as trying to undo a bolt from a rivnut, only to find that the rivnut, while held firmly in place by the squishing of the rivnut, just spins around with the bolt. I've used hundreds of rivnuts in the past on cars I've built, and a blob of epoxy has saved me from much swearing. The splined ones are more resistant to spinning, but even then I'd still prefer a bit of epoxy just to make sure.

Paging @mdcc_tester to tell you off about epoxying a rivnut.
