any help attaching rear rack? or: I'm an idiot

Hello,

well, I picked up an old spring-loaded clamp rear rack for 5$ off craigslist today, but I can't figure out how to put it on. The bottom attaches normally/easily, but the top part of the rack does not have seat stay clamps or anything which I recognize from normal racks. Instead of clamps, there is just a flat panel with two screw holes, and then another separate flat panel with matching holes.

Embarrassingly, I can't seem to figure out where this fits onto my bicycle. I thought maybe it would sort of clamp around both the stays, but the screws are too short for this application. Anybody have any ideas? I feel pretty silly and have spent a while trying to figure this out, with only failure to show for it.

thanks!
