Nisi 150mm holder system for my 14-24 wide body lens

Hi, I'm brand new to the nikonites forum, so I'm sorry if I'm posting this question in the wrong topic.
I've recently fallen in love with long exposure and have been happy with a Haida 10stop filter on my 28-300 Nikon lens, so decided to purchase the 150x150 square filter system for my 14-24mm wide body Nikon lens.
I kept with the Haida for the 10 stop ND filter, but after much research, opted for the NiSi Aluminium 150mm Holder system.
I had to order the holder system from Asia (could buy the Haida filters locally in Australia) and it arrived earlier this week, however it has these 4 silver pins (not the 2 adjustment screws), which aren't in any of the photos and prevent it from being fitted to my lens. There is no instructions and I cannot find anything on NiSi's website, via google or YouTube.
Wondering if anyone has one of the NiSi systems, or know if these pins should be removed. I did have a go with a pair of pliers, but they didn't look like they'd come out easily and I didn't want to break / damage it.
I did ask on their facebook page and have emailed the company I purchased it from, however have not heard back as yet.
Much appreciated if anyone can help.
Thanks

I hope this helps.
Do you have the separately available adapter ring?

Use of this filter holder is easily accomplished by first screwing a separately available Nisi Adapter Ring for 100mm Aluminum Filter Holder onto a compatible lens. Those adapter rings are available for lenses with 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, or 82mm front filter threads. After being fitted onto an adapter ring, the filter holder's push-pull locking pin helps to provide a reliable, yet adjustable connection that allows the holder to be rotated 360°, permitting the use of graduated neutral density and other filters that are enhanced by varied positioning. A locking screw next to the Nisi 100mm Aluminum Filter Holder V2's locking pin ensures that the grip on an adapter ring remains secure.

Thanks so much for the reply and welcome, really appreciate it.
I think the system is all together, as the 2 larger screw like pins are push pins and adjust to enclose around the lens (sorry ph pics not too clear). These 4 little pins prevent it from actually fitting on the lens, which makes me wonder if I need that adapter? So frustrating.

I would say you need that adapter as thats what dictates the correct lens size, its the same as Lee filters etc.
