Hi Jen,
If I am looking at the correct picture then yes that is the side bar, but it looks a little different then our updated lap stand. Anyway, here's a picture of where the sidebars are located on our current lap stand, as well as a whole picture of the lap stand. I circled the 2 side bars with arrows pointing at them.
How it works is that we'll send you the screws in the lap stand set, so that you can screw the sidebar into the spacer. But if you were to just order the spacer kit then the spacer kit would come with the screws. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!

In the second picture (with the blue scroll rod grime-guard), is that a scroll frame side bar being used to attach the scroll frame to the stand/spacer? How does that work with the side bars on the scroll frame itself?
