No 'shot' nails, - - I would imagine (trying to remember) that I placed bolts every 16", alternating one up, one down, - - and above and below each I would have installed tapcons. Install your fasteners horizontally along the top and the center of the ledgers rather than along the bottom so the wood will shrink 'up' from the bottom, more than 'down' from the top. Also install the ledgers a little high to begin with to allow for some shrinkage.
As far as the anchor bolts, - - yes - - if I remember correctly, - - they extended into the plane of the plywood, but not above . . .
