There are 2 cutouts on each side of the car just inside the tires (about where the seams of the door line up). They are round openings in the body pannel and there is an oval slot up inside the frame/body member. Get something round to set on the lift pads and position in these cutouts. Most members just use hokey pucks but you can buy special lifting pucks. Even a small block of wood will work fine.

And don't expect to have the lift arm pads fit the car. You will probably have to remove the lifts arm pads and let the arms themselves contact the blocks mentioned above.

Most two post lifts have a minimum lift pad height of 4.5" (or more). That's usually to high to fit under a C5/Z06 car. Expect to have to use boards to drive up on, then adjust the arms out to the jacking points.

And regarding the arms...depending on whether the two post lift is symmetric (equal length) or asymmetric (unequal length), the arms may not exactly match up to the jacking points.

You may have to improvise...

Add some rail savers and you can position the arms as close to the lifting points as possible using the rail savers to lift on.
