The holes after the laser cut did not go through, causing all of the holes to still have leftover material. To combat this issue and bring the pieces up to par, I used a center punch and hammer to easily knock out some of the holes. Though I was successful for a few pieces, some holes were much more difficult as the laser cutter did not even scratch the other side of the piece. To continue the process, I created an initial center punch on the remaining pieces, then used a drill to clear all the remaining material, then matched up the holes to ensure it was easy to assemble.
