How to use iMac monitor stand on VESA VGA monitor

I bought a Digitech Computer Articulating Desk Mount with bracket (model CW-2870) because its cheap. But I want to use it to mount a VGA monitor that is VESA-compliant ! How do you do that?

Update (01/13/2020)

This is the Digitech Computers’ CW-2870 from JayCar
