And I just bought a "Harbor Freight" aluminum rear stand...Lol
Now I can take it out of the box and get a set of the spoolers...You really do learn a new thing everyday!
I'm almost positive you would have figured it out when you went to hook up your rear stand but had nothing to press against lol, get some one to help you with it the first few times.
After that, there is a technique which I'll share since I assume based on your question you don't know how to do it. Put the bike on its kickstand, standing on the kickstand side keep your left hand on the bike and slide the rear stand into position behind the rear wheel, tilt the bike up wards till it is almost straight up but still leaning more on the kickstand side, push the rear stand in place then apply pressure so your holding the bike up by the rear stand, press down. Make sure you have a spotter the first couple of times.
Personally, I always have some one help me because they are available and it's safer. But I dont know your situation, so I'd figure I'd share that tip.
