Brent,
The U shaped piece will have the long ears on the right and left sides and
along the top edge turned under to the inside and glued. This will result in
a carpet to carpet seal along those edges. Then the 3 trim screws per side
are drilled through and installed.
This view courtesy Heritage Trim and Upholstery shows the finished result.
The screws however are not visible here, having buried themselves into the
carpet.
Let me know if you need something more.
