If the plastic plug is soft from the solvent, and the interior not visible, would it be possible to squish the plug into a kind of "rivet" to better secure it?

Definitely. As you can see in the first photo, the rods squish as they're pushed into place, so no reason why you couldn't apply more solvent and squish-over the ends on the inside, too. Or, heat the tip of a screwdriver and use that to do the squishin'.
