There were small standoffs in the KOP that are used to extend the studs on the Digital Sidecar so you can screw the cable down.

They look like the ones in this image:

4 of them came in the KOP, if you are only using one Digital Sidecar I recommend using the other set on your Driver's Station so you can screw in the serial cable each match. If you can't track them down, I'm sure someone will chime in with a good source to pick some up.
