How do Givi monokey cases mount to the tubular style racks?

I have a Givi monokey topcase, and if I were to mount it on the side of the bike, it has two inserts at the "bottom" edge, and hole at the "top" for a tab. I'm guessing that in the tubular-style mounting, there is some kind of "tab" you screw onto the top horizontal tube, and a pair of buttons you attach on the bottom horizontal tube?
EDIT: found a picture of a modified GIVI tuberack:

It shows the buttons on the bottom. I still don't see the tab up on top, but there's a plate there with two holes, so maybe it bolts on.

Here are some pics I just took of my FiveStars equipment.

Which FiveStar frames are these (they sell them by bike and I didn't see any for the GS500). I'm guessing these were meant for another bike, but fit the GS500 too? :dunno_white:

Has anyone modified a Givi setup on an 04+...specifically a topbox?
