What kind of panel? Wood, metal, plexiglas overlay, etc? Are you replacing anything, putting on new artwork?

If you just want to fill the hole you can always get an arcade button hole plug.

I had a similar issue, although from my mistake instead of just wanting to move them.  I used a wood dowel that was very close to the hole size and then filled with bondo.  The dowel was only a buck or two from Michael's. I then sanded and painted it and you cannot even see where the hole was to begin with.
