The Vortex sliders stack the plastic slider on the aluminum base. Don't connect the puck onto the base until the base is installed and the bolt torqued properly.

Do you wanna post some pics to show what you've done so far? (and to show exactly what sliders you have) Why would you not use the bases if that's part of the frame slider? Sounds odd. For mine I need an allen key to screw the basesin. Then the puck screws onto the baselike a cap.
