Put the hat shaped plastic piece facing towards the keymod hole (which is upside down from how it normally mounts to a troy rail) and then screw in the bipod stud. To get it aligned, attach a Harris bipod or insert a punch into the hole and gently turn it until it's aligned. I'll take a picture.
With bipod mounted, super low profile!
See how the threaded backing plate has the raised portion towards the barrel? Also notice that the screw part of the stud is basically flush with the backing plate's threaded hole, implying a lot of thread contact.
The plastic hat is upside down... you can't see the top of the hat in this picture since the top is inside of a large keymod hole:
Overall it's very stable and isn't going anywhere. There's enough torque (using the plastic as a crush washer essentially... But only enough torque to align it after it's hand tight) that it's not going to move when the bipod isn't mounted, and the way the bipod works, it physically can't come out if the bipod is mounted and tightened down.
That being said, the IWC version is much cheaper. But at least the Noveske one doesn't require removing your rail, which is only a minor inconvenience anyway.
