What the chap in the video had was an old first motion shaft from an old box. However you can use other items to line up clutch plate with the fly wheel before tightening the clutch unit into place. The last time I did mine I used a long socket that was a good fit through the splines of both items. Others will come back with other ways.
TIP. It is important the clutch plate is fitted the correct way around. Some replacement have " this side to flywheel " written on them.

can you remember what size socket Mate, hope mines got writing to tell me which side otherwise Im knackered coz I wont have a clue
Bit of dowelling with masking tape round it, put layers on till it matches the diameter of the hole, then use it to line it up, do the pressure plate bolts up just enough to hold the clutch plate so it can be moved but then holds it again once aligned.
But the box in and trial fit it to the clutch, once the spines line up it'll go home, then take it off again very carefully so as not to disturb the clutch plate position then tighten up the pressure plate bolts to the correct torque. You'll only need to move it back a tiny bit.
But all of the methods mentioned above will work. It ain't rocket science!

Oh dear!
do you not have a Haynes manual or anything?
There should be a thrust bearing and yes, a fork to actuate it with, connected to the clutch slave cylinder.
Did you not find all that when you took the old one apart?
And by the way, didn't a thrust, or release, bearing come with the kit? As it is a good idea to replace it while you are changing the clutch.
Looks like it matters whether the vehicle is an older or a later model.
