Roma Pass and Colosseum Reservation

My friend and I will be in Rome in September 2024 and naturally want to visit the Colosseum. We intend to buy a 72 hour Roma Pass, which includes entrance to the Colosseum. The Roma Pass website says we still need to make a reservation to enter the Colosseum. I am aware that there is a new ticketing website for the Colosseum and that you can only reserve a date/time one month ahead of your visit. What I don't understand is how you apply a Roma Pass to your reservation. I'm hoping someone has already done this and can help us out. Thank you.

Right, directions are on this page of the Roma Pass website; scroll down to #7.1 "For which museums it is necessary to make a reservation? How can I book?"

A caution, tho (with apologies if you already know this): you cannot use the card for transportation to/from Fiumicino airport or for anything at the Vatican. Once you've used to two "free" entries allowed under the pass, here is a list of discounts for other attractions the pass covers;

Note that some of those discounts are pretty small. As well, the list is not completely up-to-date as, for instance, it notes the old price of € 16,00 regular entry for the Colosseum/Forum/Palatine. The new price, purchased at an on-site ticket office, is €18,00.
