Trial and error.

more by luck than judgement the last time we used our porch (khyam) which is basically the same as yours, when at Helmsley recently we were pitched next to a gelert horizon with same porch. 

the porch does not fit tightly against the tent - there is a gap.  the key is getting the top part over the tent right.  we make the porch up with the poles - me and the teenagers hold the porch in place while hubby walks round with the guys that go over the roof part.  the guys at the back are then pegged down.

the top part fits over the two tent poles so there is a gap between roof of the tent and the material of the porch throwover.

hope this all makes sense - just to warn you the last time we pitched we were charged extra for the sun porch as it was classed as an add-on and not part of the main tent.  Bit of a con we thought - but there you go. 

hope this helps.

I Always take a shoe off, tie to straps and chuck over the tent- seems to work--

see! I knew that bag of crp tent pegs would come in useful
