Need Help, Sigma 100-400mm stainless pins??

Received my Sigma 100-400mm lens for Fuji today.
Question: when I removed the rubber band protector to install my 3rd party tripod bracket (Laoge LMR TL-140) there appears 4 stainless pins. The pins are located where I can't fully slide the bracket into place
What is the purpose of the pins?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Looks like they ride in an alignment channel and that your bracket has no such channel.

Perhaps to hold lens together.

At a guess to fit the Fuji Removable Tripod Socket. My Tamron 150-600 G2 lens has similar mounting studs.

As it turns out I was sent the wrong tripod bracket.
I one that works with the fuji system requires 4 notches.

The lens didn’t come with a tripod collar?
