So the fuse box slides onto that tab? I did feel it back there

Yup, that's how it works. The slot on the end of the fuse box just slides over the top of that tab and viola! I know on my car the fuses face the ground, it looks just like that picture. Not sure if you could flip the fuse box over so the fuses face up and the box is behind the dash or not, haven't tried it.
