Ignition Amplifiers

I just bought my first bike. It's a rust bucket. I'm not a motorcycle mechanic but I bought the manual and I'm trying my best. I got the carbs rebuilt, new spark plugs, oil change you know the basics. But as I said this bike is a rust bucket. It was missing many pieces. The part I'm stumped on is the ignition amplifiers. They're just hanging there. I've tried to find a solution online and in the book. There is a small picture of the battery area in the book, and I can see that the IM is mounted, I just can't see to what. Can anyone please tell me where these are supposed to go? It's the silver plate part. Any help is much appreciated.
