It's been a while since I had the stock Vega brakes on mine, but here's what I remember:
You'll need to hold the two plastic guides against the caliper, inside the slot, with the flat part of the half-round portions so they are flush with the sides of the caliper. Take each pad (with the friction side facing where the rotor will fit between, naturally) and slide the ears on either side of the caliper in the flush part of the plastic guide until the round part matches the round portion of the plastic guide. Slide the pad to the outboard, or toward the caliper piston, depending on which pad it is. This should hold the plastic guide in place.
Slide the caliper and pads over the rotor and match the holes in the spindle with the holes in the plastic guides. Lubricate the "nail" with some silicone brake grease and tap it in from the outside in, making sure that the rubber bushing on the inside does not push out. When completely tapped in, clip the E-clip on the end of the nail, in the groove.
