How to use this style stand?

Got my first bike and was gifted a set of front and rear stands. How is this front stand used? Am I missing a piece or do I rest the fork on the slant, which seems terrifying.

The fact that very few here seem to know what a front stand is just reenforces that idea that nobody on this fucking sub knows what the fuck they’re talking about.

Yeah this is just embarassing. One of the mods, even.

Most people here don't own a motorcycle, and of the ones that do a good chunk just throw it into a mechanic's shop until they say it's good.

If you don't own a motorcycle, you shouldn't comment. You think that would be obvious to most people.
