Base plate latch. The small tab folds out, and turns clockwise to tighten.

Once the monitor arm and base plate are together, you'll need to fasten them so they don't come apart. There's a fold-out tab on a screw on the bottom of the base plate. Gently turn the screw clockwise to fasten the two parts. You can stop turning once it starts to resist - it doesn't have to be cinched in tight.

Assembling your monitors.

There should be two prongs on the top of your monitor stand. Those go into the holes in the back of the monitor panels, and the whole thing should swing closed and lock in place with a click. You shouldn't need to use much force - if it feels like you're having to push hard to get it to close, disconnect the stand from the monitor and make sure there's nothing trapped in between the parts.
