I'm trying to remember back a few years to when I replaced my top, but I think the top edge of that piece tucks in to the same groove that holds the back bottom edge of the top, and is held in place with a rubber seal. The bottom edge clips in to hooks on the rear wall of the compartment that the top folds down in to. Don't worry too much about the straps. The clips broke on mine and I have found no downside to them not being attached. If you do want to attached them, they clip to some hard to reach place up under the top mechanism. you'll probably see where they go once you get the rest in place.

If you look at some pics connected to instructions about putting the top into service mode you should be able to see how it basically all fits together. Unfortunately, it's a bit too cold here for me to try putting the car into service mode to check this for you otherwise I would give you some pics.
