This is done by taking out two screws, and if you have them, drilling out two rivets. Clip the lens board assembly into this plate, set up the camera on a tripod, and using the ground glass, focus on a far away object by sliding the lensboard assembly back and forth. When you have achieved focus (I would use a loop) make sure the lensboard is square, and mark the position of the plate. you will need to drill two new holes to fasten the plate down.
I also understand that you may need to file the bottom of the crossbar a bit so that it will clear the new plate position when you close or open the camera, although I think if you are careful to lift the crossbar at the right moment you would not need to do this.
