Is the plastic that can be screwed with cleat? If it is, that comes with my Diadora shoes.

Yes, I can because the cage is just like the flat platform pedal that can move freely.

The manual said: "Press the cleats into the pedals with a forward and downward
motion."

When I hold the cage by hand and push the front of the binding, I can bring the back up.

But when I do that with my shoe, it's not so easy because of the outer part of my sole has a good contact with the cage. When I try to move forward and press down, I turn the whole pedal with my shoe.

Biciclista, yes, I can go to a nearby LBS to ask their opinion. It's just that they sell high-end bikes and my bike wasn't bought from them (it's from a shop that is a little bit far) nor the pedals & shoes. Some of our LBS's are very territorial, only responding to their customers' questions (or tell you to go back to the shops from which you bought the stuff). This is one of reasons why I want to learn how to DIY -- I just got Zinn's book & some tools.
