Here's how you can achieve it:
  1. In Assembly3, first select one circular end of the cylinder
  2. Then, select the planar face
  3. Select the PointsPlaneDistance contraint
  4. Edit then "Distance" value in the constraint to set it to the cylinder radius
  5. Redo the steps for the other cylinder end
