What you have on there now is the SH-50 which is a single release no float cleat.
You need to purchase either the SH-56 multi-release or the SH-51 lateral release cleat to get float.
Actually, your entire post is wrong. He has Crank Brothers Pedals, not Shimanos. He should be using CB cleats not the cleats you specified.
