You need to take the clip, and connect it to the BBB
(http://beagleboard.org/Support/bone101#headers) according to the
numbers in the section "Connecting the Pomona 5250/5252" of
http://libreboot.org/docs/install/bbb_setup.html.

The result will look something like the photos I've attached (which is
how it looks when I do it). Also, if you you find the numbering
confusing, try to use the same colors as you find in the photos
(especially for GND and VCC.)

What part exactly is the problem?
