Hi, thanks for anyone who has read this. I did find a solution. I was able to locate a manual online with a video telling me how to remove the stand.

The problem was that since the monitor does not have a name on it, I couldn't remember what it was called. It is actually an apple studio display adc. I was able to order a replacement stand on ebay for 8$. I could have purchased a new one from other sites but they cost $50 and I could buy another exact monitor for that price.
Thanks,
Marlee
