I have this stand. I just realized that the 2 top poles are supposed to be locked or secured together somehow. I see holes for screws but nothing inside them. Any ideas??

I have the Godox AD400Pro Witstro All in One Flash and a 7' Impact PLM. Would these items work with this stand, and do I need other attachments?
