I'm probably a total noob and doing it wrong... there are a million trusses in the library but i cannot find a simple floor "base plate" object to attach a single fixture to. OFC i can just manually assign the fixtue to the "Stage floor" location but then i'd be missing the base plates in the show inventory / report.
What am i missing?

With Capture 2022 you may choose the Base Plate filter available in the Truss category of the Library tab to choose from the ones available. If you are using a specific base plate that is currently missing from our library, you may send a relevant request to library@capture.se

I am also missing something generic, which I would not describe as a base plate but rarther or (low) floor stand. 

Often this is a metal frame in an H-shape, to wich the G-clamp of a fixture attaches. As these things are generally custom build by the LX-team, they should be under Generic in the Trusses library.

I've been unsuccessfully looking for this kind of base too.

Those pieces are not added to generic truss items (unfortunately) but rather to Light Emotion -> Floor H-stand or ShowGear-> Floor Stand. So if you look for either of those, you can add lights on the floor in a proper way.
