Laptop stand

I guess this fits under hardware as well as anywhere else. It's an entirely no-tech problem but one that an hour on Dell support didn't even begin to resolve.

As I spent an hour waiting for Dell support to try to understand my question I did figure out how to adjust the angle of my new laptop stand.
But, and this is really moronic and actually funny, I can't figure out to use the darn stand. No documentation came with it and I can't figure out if only the laptop screen is supposed to be put onto the stand or if the entire notebook should be placed on the stand. Either way, how do I do this?  (See, I told you it was really moronic. But this tends to be my problems with machines: I used to be able to work on my car pretty well except that sometimes I couldn't get the darn bolts loose! Now I can do all sorts of techie stuff on my nice laptop but I can't figure out the stand! I have a feeling one day I won't be able to function in society at all because of some moronic thing like this. Then I will stay home and laugh until . . . well you get the point of my ramblings.)

Any insights would be greatly appreciated -- especially if accompanied by terribly inappropriate and overkill graphics or documentation full really bureaucratic phrasing and the word "utilize" more times than one would think possible.

Thanks!
