How to tighten these bolts? Is there a special flat head with a split for the allen key bolt that comes through the middle?

The bolts on the gates ‘chainring’ are easy to remove but when it comes to getting the back on (especially after removing the chain guard ring for aesthetics) it’s impossible to do them up tightly since there is no apparent way to torque the opposite side…
Slotted chainring tool like this? https://www.parktool.com/product/chainring-nut-wrench-cnw-2
Yes there’s literally a tool for that.
Stupid question… can you just use one Allen wrench on each side?
Protip (or DIY dirt bag tip rather) you can make a chainring nut wrench out of a penny. File a flat edge, then make 2 slots.
I don’t understand why you can’t just use a flathead screwdriver.
