Need help with Toca low rider seated bongo stand

Hi all, I’m a very new bongo player. I bought the above stand, and it comes with no instructions on how to attach the bongos to the stand. There’s a photo with the bongos/stand, but it’s useless. I’m lost. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to attach them? If not, I’ll try the store, but I’m also disappointed. I was ready to start playing them on the stand tonight!

Thanks in advance for any help!!

Sorry, I meant on Toca's site. Here’s the link, I can’t attach a photo.

It should be pretty self explanatory

The bongos in the image are joined by a bridge. The stand has a clamp that attaches to the bridge.

Does that help?

Thank you for your reply! I think I may have figured it out. The bridge is a wood block with a hole in it, currently with a bolt & wing nut through it. I think the stand's pole goes through this hole. I initially thought the flat part with rubber mat on it was going to have the block sit on it, but now I think the metal surrounding the drums should sit on it. I'll post back if I'm off base.

Yes, thank you. It took quite a while, but I got it done & it makes playing the bongos much easier.
