SW Motech Quick Lock retaining rings - fixing?

Hi,
Really stupid question I'm sure but bear with me - newbie n all that!
Trying to fit my first pannier racks - SW Motech Evo's for Trax boxes....

So....any fitted them? The SW Motech Quick lock connectors - are these meant to be removable? (see Motohaus Powersports Limited Quick Lock Evo Accessories to know what I'm talking about and http://www.bikegear.co.za/att/kft_05_294_100.pdf at the top right for the fitting instructions)......

When putting these through the racks do you just grunt and heave them through and twist them to lock them?
I guess these should all be removable but I thought that once I had pushed through the washer type part then they'd be a complete nightmare to remove.

Bear with me - I just don't want to screw it up and trying to do the first thing on the bike for myself?!?! (only had one for 12 weeks)

Thanks in advance!?!!

Of course just after posting this I had a bit of a play with them off the bike and seemed to get them to click on......

But there seems to be a bit of play with the quick lock parts on their own but I assume this is ok as once it's bolted onto the bike attachements it'll be fine!?????

Still to put them on the bike.
