You need the plate to hold the 4 magnets. One in each corner.Now here is the trick...Take a pair of magnets. Hold them close until you determine if they are attracting each other or repelling.The Pair that attracts go onto the "End" of the plate. One under each rail. On the other end do the same and you SHOULD have repellers on the sides. The repellers will follow a rail on a path while the attractors follow a path across the track from one side to the other.Ive found that I had to flip one until I had a pair that attracted. Then I would place one of these onto a corner.I marked the end of the plate with it's pair of attractors with a X in magic marker and the repellers on the sides with a <-> mark between those.They really should make the plate a little bit longer so it is easier to find the "Ends"For me Unitrack took the plate easily. If I had to install this into or under Cork Roadbed it would be a bit of work. But so worth it because once you install them you WILL uncouple upon stopping over the magnet.
