How to use telepod balancing plate?

I received a balancing plate to use with my telepod head and Pronto. Unfortunately, there are no directions with it (in fact no allen wrench to fit the screws that came with it either).

Can someone explain how to use this plate to adjust the balance of the Pronto for instance when I've got one of my larger EPs in it (17 Nagler, 31 Nagler)?

Balance seems to be OK using 1-1/4" EPs and not using the balance plate, but from my recent experience, I switch back and forth between the 17mm and my 1-1/4" EPs.

Thanks. macnmotion
