This is how it looks installed
These are the views of the two types, the yellow is a regular, and the silver is the countersunked.
Rivnut, as I understood it, is in fact a threaded insert and is for other purposes. Like having a threaded insert, akin to PEM and such. It has a grip range (material thickness) of 0.5 - 2mm (or 0.5 - 1.5mm for the regular ones) for the M3 size (the one I use). But it works fine if needed to hold together a couple of surfaces, as long as the total thickness is within range.
The knurled part is the one to collapse, the smooth is the nut itself (not used in my case).

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
