The holes are to suction dust for a vacuum attachment or dust collection bag. The sander will have a very smooth pad almost shiny if it takes stick-on discs (PSA). If not it will be a velcro pad and in that case you need the velcro discs. This description sounds like you have a velcro pad. Sticky discs wont stick to a velcro pad.
Sander has 2 slotted rotating rollers one on each end the paper gets fed in as you rotate roller, which will grasp paper and hold, feed/wind roller with slotted screwdriver till paper secure. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

first make sure you are using the right sandpaper for the tool and if it is hook and loop look at the pad for wear that will not allow the paper to adhere fully, if it is a PSA make sure the pad is not damaged.
Just stick the sand paper sheet to the base of the mouse sander... it's velcro it will hold... match the forme of the paper with the forme of the sander's base... that's all...

i am just guessing here that this may be about a Belt Sander. if not the you should re-post and give more info on the machine. if it is about belt sanders then there is an adjustment screw for the belt tracking. The screw is in different locations for different brands. turn it on and adjust the screw until the belt is centered.
hope this has helped in some way, really need more info from you to give a better answer, sorry
It depends on what kind of sander it is. If its a belt sander then on the side there is a lever that comes outward. it releases the tension then slip the old one off and new on and push lever back in place. If its a palm sander then on each side of the pad there will be 2 silver rods there. you push the rod in and then pull up and it releases a bar that wil go up and down for you to put the new paper on with.
The backing pad does not last very long on these hook and loop designed sanders, and the pad should be replaced when the edges of the pad look worn. If the edges are okay try taking a toothbrush and some degreaser (IPA or brake cleaner). Look for the replacment backing pads online or at a hardware store.
To change the belt, you must release tension of
the rollers by pushing the front roller straight back until you hear it
click and lock in position to change paper. Remove old paper and replace
with new paper. Make sure if new paper has directional arrows to
install properly. Now you must release the front roller to put
tension on paper. To do this push the front roller from the side that
has the adjustment screw. This will release the front roller and allow
it to go back into position. Be careful as it pops back quickly and with
some force. Turn on sander and adjust centering of paper with adjustment screw found near the front and side of sander.
