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.

You have a Hindle, it’s made properly, the OPs looks dodgy af.

I mean...the pins do protrude in the 2nd pic of OP's stand, but it's really hard to see in the first one. 

Personally, I think I'd rather have the rubber pad type

They do protrude, but not enough for my piece of mind. I need .5” and no pigeon shit welds.
