The little arm goes on the TOP of your needle screw. (so that is goes up and down with the needle). The foot attches the same way all others do, with the screw on the side. (it'll clatter, they all do....)

Did you tighten the screw enough? theres supposed to be some room under that to give the fabric room to move.it doesn't sit on the needle plate like your regular foot does.
If at first you don't suceed, try-try again!
