Expert Reply:
It looks like you have the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack, part # RRRVP45.
This rack is designed to mount to the fixed mounting points in your Ford Explorer's rails. You will need to remove the bolts/screws in the rails and use those holes to mount the brackets of the Rhino-Rack's brackets. The brackets should be attached to the cover by the slide in pieces (typically 4 squares).
The tabs on the crossbars should then line up with the cover/bracket pieces to snap into place. There may also be a bolt to keep the two secure. From there, you will need to attach the endcap on the crossbar and use the key to secure it.
I've linked to a video demonstration of this for you to reference.
