Oh yeah. . . that little screw that holds the top down and secured to the basin. Mike, I wonder where I put that.

Basically, three ell shaped flanges welded to the basin bottom hold the canisters centered under the burner openings. Under the canisters are finger springs spot welded to the basin and they push the canister up against the bottom of the burner opening.

I have seen the canister escape from the three centering clips. But maybe this is because the top of the stove was not secured down onto the stove. (Duh) This seems reasonable as the springs, which push the canister up, also push up on the stove top, letting the canisters rise above the top of the clips. I will check this out.
