How is a camera mounted on a tripod plate?

I am a novice. I just bought a tripod for my point and shoot camera. (My hands shake when I try to steady the camera.) The instructions with the tripod have nothing on “how to” properly mount the camera on the plate. I have done searches on the ‘net. I found a video but could not see the exact position he put the plate onto the camera. What I have read seems to assume “everyone” knows the proper position. I need at least a few closeup photos -

The plate simply screws onto the tripod mount on the bottom of the camera using the attached screw. Straighten the plate with relation to the camera before giving the final, tightening turn (don’t over tighten).
If you need to adjust the camera’s position on the plate, slacken the screw, adjust the plate and re-tighten.

The plate then clicks in to position on the shoe fitting on the tripod and becomes part of the tripod. To remove the camera, pull the lever or press the button while supporting your camera. The exact method of fitting and release depends on the tripod make and model.

There are a few small cameras that don’t have a tripod mounting hole – if this is the case then a tripod cannot be used.
