Cannot work out how to attach 2 halfs of bed together, help needed before bedtime!

Viberduo

Basically got 2 halves of a double bed delivered this morning and they came with these plastic things that look like they squeeze together somewhere.

Problem is WHERE!

Worse comes to worse I can just put the mattress on the base and lie on it tonight but it will be on my mind(I have aspergers/ocd)

I had to google what that meant but these are second hand and with no manual.

What shape are the plastic things?

Make of the bed may also help

My divan is held together by U shapped clips, like thesehttps://www.google.co.uk/search?q=divan+base+joining+clips&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=ILOcU-SeGIfrOqDCgZgH&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg&biw=1366&bih=643#facrc=_&imgrc=t-u__LTwIqSfQM%253A%3BpShk-sJYNCw2pM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fi.ebayimg.com%252Ft%252F2-METAL-DIVAN-BED-U-JOINING-CLIPS-USED-TO-JOIN-DIVAN-BED-BASES-TOGETHER-%252F00%252Fs%252FNjY0WDU5MQ%253D%253D%252Fz%252Fy80AAMXQNOZRBbEw%252F%2524(KGrHqF%252C!lMFDkYBp7%252B6BRBbEwII%252B!~~60_35.JPG%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.ebay.co.uk%252Fitm%252F2-METAL-DIVAN-BED-U-JOINING-CLIPS-USED-TO-JOIN-DIVAN-BED-BASES-TOGETHER-%252F370776452985%3B267%3B300

I'd say either at the sides or possibly underneath.

So put the two halves on their side and clip them together underneath?

Thanks, found that guide online it is that U like clips I have 2 of them just wondering as I got them on but they arent locked down as they are not stretching , I may have to use force?

Thats what I guess you mean, the clips will slide over the wooden bottom bits of frame, which may be covered over with the lining

Are there no obvious marks from where the previous owner had the clips?
