Despite what the other comment says, it is not ARCA, those plates won't fit.
For most consumer tripods, there are two plate systems that are very common. Arca-Swiss which is used by a ton of brands and has a lot of accessories, all based on a clamp from the sides design. Manfrotto uses a 200PL/RC-2 system for most of their tripods.
Basically everything else, including the one you picked up, uses it's own proprietary mounting. A lot of times it's semi-generic like with yours. This might work too, you basically need it slopped on at least two sides to fit into the hinge side as well as the locking lever size.
This is basically the Amazon branded version of what you have, or similar in Sunpak. Something like this or this would be a substantial step up.
If you want to use an l-bracket with Vanguards QR plate you need to mount an Arca-Swiss clamp like this: Andoer Arca-Swiss clamp
And then pick up something like this: MENGS L-bracket for a6000
It's a Frankenstein tripod now, but you have the ability to use an l-bracket. And when you move to a new tripod you'll already be set with the arca-swiss plates (we all started with those $30-50 tripods, but one way or another we find our way to a more expensive arca-swiss clamp or manfrotto clamp tripod). Whatever you do, don't buy a generic l-bracket. They don't hold properly and in the vertical position tend to pivot on the 1/4-20 screw.
I have this arca swiss plate thingie with built-in bubble levels. Seems to work well.

I recently purchased one of these:

It works with an Arca type base, and it has a 1/4" thread, so you can attach it to the Manfrotto stud.
