You will first need to solder 6 sets of 3 pin headers (which should have come with the board) to the PCB holes, that you have outlined in red, in order to be able to plug the servos in. As Mikael also states, you will also need to attach an external power supply to the green terminals as the Arduino can not supply enough power to the servos by itself.
