Ron,
I recommend using the Picatinny Mount. Your ARC rails should have come with two M1913 picatinny adapters that fit into to center groove of the helmet rails and which each have a flex tab that locks into the horizontal slots [in the center groove].
First, install the picatinny adapter into the helmet rail. They fit tight, so you may need to tap into place with a small gunsmithing mallet and a nylon (non marring) punch. Because of the rail design, I recommend inserting the picatinny adapter in through the front with the locking tab in the back.
Second, slide the picatinny base for the MPLS over the picatinny rail adapter you just installed. Again, inserting from the front is the best. The fit here will be tight as all heck as well -- again, use your gunsmithing mallet and non-marring punch to gently tap the base into place. There's a locking screw that goes all the way through the MPLS base and one of the grooves in the picatinny rail adapter. As you tap the base into place, you need to eyeball from the sides to ensure the holes [on both sides] for the locking screw line up with a groove in the rail adapter ... you should see "daylight" all the way through. Then, you insert the locking screw into the MPLS base and push it all the way through to the other side and tighten (with slot head screwdriver).
If you haven't already installed the MPLS turret onto the base, you can do it now by snapping it over the base and giving a half turn. At this point, you should be complete with the installation.
