    Put nail in wall, hang it from the dark grey bracket - guessing its glued on giving the mounting holes are empty

    As above.  Or else, you can use the 2 other brackets at the top - just depends on whether you picture is portrait or landscape.
    The clips serve 2 purposes - to hold the glass in place, and to serve as hangers. For a lightweight item, it really doesn't matter which of them you hang it from - it's different if it's a substantial weight.
    Oh, and if it's just lightweight, you don't really need to worry about screws and rawl-plugs - a small panel pin will do the job just fine.

    I did that with a picture I bought and it hangs away from the wall. I hope the OP has better luck.

    First Q - is the mounting bracket in the right place, ie at the top of that pic?
    If so, this just needs the teeniest of picture nails in the wall, hammered in at a downwards slope, and leaving only 4-5mm sticking out.
    Jobbie jobbed.
    Unless the bracket is not at the top...

    string through the clippy bits, assuming you've got them on the 4 sides.   if you don't have picture string, use strong cotton thread, possibly garden twine, not strong sewing thread.  you don't want something leaving the wall at 3 in the morning in 5 years time.

    nice picture btw.
