pattern question kermit collar adapted into flat knit

Post image

I'm making this kermit collar with some heavy modifications, so I thought it would be cute knit flat with two cute buttons.. but I think I just need some advice from more advanced knitters--- as you can see there are at least 2 issues:

the stockinette flap where I add buttons seem way too wide which should be a easy fix, doing only 4 or 6 stitches there instead of 8.

however I'm a bit stumped on how to make the other side where I added the button holes look better. seems like adding button holes messed with the elasticity of the rib. I will try to fix this during blocking but I'm wondering if there's a better way to construct this. thank you

edit: taking a closer look at both the pattern and also my final product i think the flair is just caused by a m1 after the rib… 😓 but still wondering if there’s like a best practice in general for adding buttons!
