Position each bracket on top of the plywood so the holes are at a right angle to any pair of parallel edges. Center the brackets using your tape measure. The distance from the base of the bracket is the same distance from the edges of the plywood around each bracket. Screw the bracket to the plywood in this position. The plywood with the 4-inch bracket is the base to the adjustable monitor stand.
