Drive-in latch for Nest x Yale?

[CapinWinky]

I have a hollow metal door which currently uses a drive-in style bolt latch (round insert on the edge of the door instead of metal rectangle with two screws). I didn't see a way to convert the included bolt to work as a drive-in, and I see that Yale sells drive-in bolt replacements for specific lock models, but nothing specifically lists the `YRD 540` (model number of the Nest x Yale) as a compatible lock.

Is there a specific drive-in replacement bolt/latch that is known to work with the `YRD 540`?

I ended up taking the plate off the included bolt and using a drive-in bolt sleeve.

I removed the mounting plate by lifting the adjustment locking lever (the black spring thing) and moving to halfway between the two adjustment sizes. In this position, you can push in the dimple 90 degrees from the locking lever that keeps the mounting plate oriented (and from sliding off). With this dimple held in, you can rotate the sleeve with the mounting plate a little bit so the dimple no longer lines up with the slot and slide it right off.

I was able to use the drive-in sleeve cap thing from my old deadbolt, but you can also just buy one that fits the Yale for a couple bucks. My sleeve fits the hole snuggly (because the hole was made for it) and the Yale bolt loosely, and this doesn't seem to impair the movement of the Yale bolt at all and it doesn't seem to require the support of the sleeve for proper installation.
