Absolute newbie to apple business manager

hi all, Absolute newbie to Apple Business Manager here.. and can't seem to really get past step 1, and the tutorials aren't really helping so thought i'd reach out.

I run a small business (4 staff), and have purchased 3 iphone XR's for my staff to use.

I'm looking at having these 'managed' by my organisation, and deploy apps and settings as required.

I have registered the Apple Business Manager account, added the staff as 'staff' etc. I've downloaded the Apple Configurator 2 on my MBP however can't seem to hit the next step where i setup the phones to be managed by the system..

any pointers?
