On the Geometry Tab page, clear the currently selected Hole Faces. Check the box for Auto-Merge Hole Segments and then select the cylinder that represents the hole itself. This tells Fusion to check and see if our selections shares a common centerline with any holes above it. If they do, it combines the length of the entire hole. This is so it wont start drilling from the bottom of the spot drill, but from the top of both holes.
On the Heights Tab set the Top Height is From: Hole Top and the Bottom Height From: Model Bottom. But this time we want to make sure the lip of the drill cuts past the bottom of the part. So we have to check the box for Drill Tip Through Bottom and set a Break-Through Depth of .030.
