Stand for iMac A1418

So I wall mounted my IMac 21.5 model A1418 December 2014 model for 8 years. In the meantime I lost the stand. I now want to Mount on a stand so I bought one second hand online supposedly for my model. Did I buy the wrong one ? Photos attached.

How to attach iMac to stand? So my IMac model A1418 (bought December 14) has been wall mounted with a VESA Mount since I got it but I’m now wanting to go back to a stand. I’ve bought the stand in the photo but does the back of my Mac need to come off so as to enable me to mount it to the stand? Have I even got the right stand? The slot doesn’t seem to look like anything I’ve seen on YouTube videos involving mounting the thing. Has got me beaten. I’d mention I’m an old duffer - so please make allowances ! Photo of stand and photo of slot on back of Mac. Driving me mad! Did I buy a MAC that can only be VESA mounted? [Edited by Moderator]

Reattaching iMac Pro Stand - Latch Inside Problem I have had my iMac Pro on a VESA adapter and would like to put it back on it's original stand. The problem is that the internal connector that holds the stand has retreated into the iMac Pro and I'm not sure how to get the stand back on. Does anyone have any tricks to get the internal "connector" back and locked into a position that I can re-attach the stand? I've had the closes luck using a paperclip (held by pliers) to try and pull on one of the two protruding studs on the corrector while with the other hand release the latch. But I've yet to get the connector out far enough for it to lock into place so that I can reattach the stand. I fear I'll never be able to get the stand back on. Any help/tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated.

As this is not the sort of repair which most users will have undertaken I doubt whether you'll get many replies.

Have you looked on YouTube, there may be relevant videos on there.
