Unscrew the plates/shoes off em.
Make the plates kiss, then turn one 90°, but still are kissing.

Notice how there is a screw that you can undo? That allows you to remove the plate. Then you can screw it back on.
There are three screws altogether, one that has a sharp end which you either have laying around in your tool box, or you can get for $0.03 at the hardware store, and one from each of the Planetbike-MEC QCam Clamps.
