I can't re-attach my thunderbolt display stand I have removed the stand from my Thunderbolt monitor to place a touch overlay device on the sceen (needed to lay the screen flat facing up to attach the overlay)

Now I am trying to re-attach the stand and the flange that holds the torx screws has gone back inside the monitor. It seems to be locked in the "closed" position at this point.

I can release the latch at the top with a credit card but the flange doesn't come back out. I can't figure out how to get the flange that the torx screws screw into exposed again so I can re-attach the stand.

Any help? I see several other people with this question on the web but no answers. It seems the flange locks in two positions "open" which exposes the screw holes and "closed" where mine is stuck now.

Thanks
I just experienced this and I had a heck of a time finding anything online about it, so I thought I would answer.

The flange probably isn't properly stuck, it's just very, very highly tensioned. I threaded two relatively thick pieces of twine through two of the torx screw holes. I then actuated the release mechanism and pulled really hard on the twine. Like, really hard, harder than you probably imagine it should need. The twine broke when I only had one piece threaded.

This should be sufficient. Once you get it out, it should lock back in place and you can continue as normal
