The central hub which rises is attached to the 12 vertices star at the bottom most. The timing has to be perfect so that when the star starts to rise, the rest of the panels are at maximum spread and expansion as seen in the video above. Notice the sliders.

Assembly of the mechanism and the panels.
Every single component's movement is timed to perfection so it reflects how truly the original piece is a work of art and a feat in human engineering.
Thank you!
