Now you're talkin. Please post pics when you get a chance.
All I did was bolted on the quick release on the bottom of the aluminum plate. The only way I could get it to work was if I put it on backwards. To get it onto the tripod all I have to do it put it on from the front instead of the back. I can't move the camera with the stabilizer because the plate isn't tight enough but that's no big deal. The whole setup works great now.
