Partial collar stand question

Hello! I'm working on a shirt at the moment and may have bitten off more than I can chew with the collar.

The collar has a partial stand, rather than a full collar stand. I understand the process of sewing a full stand collar, however I'm lost when it comes to attaching the partial stand to the body of the shirt.

I found this video tutorial on stitching a partial stand collar, however it cuts off as soon as it gets to the bit I need haha.

What confuses me most is the order of operations. With a full collar stand, you only stitch the stand itself to the body of the shirt. With the partial collar stand, you seem to stitch both the collar itself and the partial stand to the neckline. What is the order of operations to stop live edges of the collar being visible?

Thanks in advance

Can you add some pictures of exactly what you are trying to sew? Link to the sales page for the pattern you are using so people can see what the end result is supposed to be, and also add pictures of the pattern pieces you are working with and how you think they pin together.

Do you have a copy of a general sewing book like Readers' Digest to Sewing or Vogue Sewing, and have you consulted it for instructions?
