Not entirely certain (my TA chainring experience is firmly rooted in 50s-60s stuff), but let me hazard a guess:
See that teeny hole below the teeth? My hunch is that if you stuck the machine screw through the spacer, through the hole, and attached the nut on the other side (long side away from the frame), it will act as an overshift pin, to prevent you from shifting so far outboard that the chain comes off the ring and jams between the big ring and the crankarms.
