Get some 1/2” OD brass tubing from a hobby shop or order it from Grainger or micro mark.
Cut it to length full coat both the hole and tubing with JB weld and install it.
Let it harden for a full day and then cartridge roll sand away what you don’t need.
Sorry for your issue, but at least you did not harm anything in a new motor.
Here in this photo of a max ported D port 16 head you can see how I did it.

Thanks for the great info on how to fix this. Fortunately, only one head will need to come off the other head is OK. Can this be drilled by hand or will it need to be done in a mill? I have a drill press but getting the head at the proper angle would be almost impossible.
