Hi Barrie.. Yes, that's what I was assuming, they were for that purpose. But then that also means you only load to the plate from one side only.. Not the end of the world I guess..!! But I found it annoying....lol.

I'm used to using an Arca plate, which has screws at both ends. Which means you have to open the clamp fully and put the plate in from the top.

Yes, if I use the Benro Arca Swiss plate in the Benro head, the metal screws either end of the plate hit the head if the plate isn't screwed in tight to stop the plate and whatever is attached falling, like a security feature.
The L bracket I have doesn't have the metal bolts so I need to make sure it's clamped in tight but in all the years I've used it, I've never had any issues with anything like this happening.
