Can anyone tell me how to connect up a touch plate for the Z axis on the tinyg board.

Have a look at

A touchplate is like a pcb with thickness, so you have to compensate for that thickness in your Gcode or by making a manual Z offset.

If you are a Chilipeppr user, there is a widget that automates this process.
