Mate connectors context

When I make a mate connector in a part studio context, how do I use it in an assembly? I created a sketch with a center point of a feature, and used that point to define a mate connector.
When I return to the assembly context, I can't find any reference to this connector. It's not visible and does not show up when using the mate dialog. I also can't find a way to use the mate connector in a part studio, so they must only be valuable in the assembly context, but how?
This is the design in question. I want to mate the black plate with the rest of the imported geometry.

For your specific design question, from the asm, right click on the chassis part, and select edit in context. The system will then switch you to the part studio of the chassis, but with the asm visible as well. Start a sketch on the surface of the chassis, and draw 4 points. Coincident constraint those 4 points with the 4 holes. Then make a new hole feature using those 4 points.
