What am I doing wrong

So I used the menu button plugin and on one of the buttons when clicked I want to go to a custom html page. So on the button I picked in the drop down Custom Html. But now when I click on that button to make it what I want there is no place to put the html. It says on the right of the screen that I am using the custom Html plugin but not sure how to link the button to the page.

For Custom HTML screens, go back to the SCREENS menu, you can edit it there. You can't edit those from within another menu.

That is very very basic and easily answered in the BTU Lessons. Think you should take these free lessons first and most of your questions (definitely this one) will be answered. If you have questions after that, always happy to help.

From any Menu plugin you pick the screen you want to link to. If you made your custom HTML screen you can just select it.

Maybe that is what I don't understand. I have a menu that has 8 buttons in it. I set the one button to custom/html. So when I click in that button on the menu I see this http://prntscr.com/3hnvt8 I made the custom page and I want to attach the html page to that Hotels button. What am I doing. I just don't see how to do it.

That is a bug. Go back to screens, select your custom HTML screen from there and you will see the editor to enter your HTML code.

So this is my menu and all the buttons on the menu http://prntscr.com/3hoa07 then when I click on hotels I don't see anywhere to add the hotel page. I guess a comparison would be that if one of those button was a custom url one. When I click on the button it gives me a spot to add the link. Here is a look at the screens I have and the hotel screen is there. So how do I connect them. http://prntscr.com/3hoa9p

Actually not much to screenshot. You connected the button with the screens already as we can see in your first screenshot. Better to give the buttons a name maybe instead of leaving them undefined but that is up to you. As I said before if you click on the "loads this" link, it will not show the correct screen to edit, therefore go back to the screens section you showed us on your 2nd screenshot and edit the screens from there. Set the "Brigantine" menu as your home screen and check how it all works on your device or simulator.
