It needs to go in the hard drive adapter with the fan in front.
 
Ya but how do I screw it in? There's no room to screw it in and if the cage slides out the front how do I get the covers in the front off?
 
If you mean the black plastic pieces along the front, then gently (but with more force than you think) use the hard drive cage to push against the covers and they'll pop off. Be careful not to ram them too hard because the plastic can break, but if I remember correctly it wasn't a big deal once I figured out how it worked. Once you get at least one off, you can just use your fingers to remove the other ones. Actually Cooler Master recommends somewhere to use this approach.

If you mean the metal pieces on the front of the hard drive cage itself once it's out, I didn't remove mine, just left it alone.
 
banGerprawN's Easy Step-By-Step to dealing with your Stacker!

1) Find a small flathead screwdriver. The smaller, the betterer.

2) Take newly-found small flathead screwdriver, and insert between front panels. Roughly lever close to the side until first piece pops off.

3) Using newly-made hole, remove the rest of the front-panels.

4) Take hard drive mounting rack (also known as the badly named, porn-invoking "CM 4-in-3") and screw in your hard drive.

5) Find the bag that was enclosed with your mammoth e-penis extender...err, Stacker, that has a heap of black strips with nubbets (BWAHAHAHA, the word cracks me every time...woo), and remove two (2)

6) Take removed nubbety-strips (bwahahaha...), and attach them to each side of the "CM 4-in-3" towards the top, putting the nubbets (heehee...) in the holes in the dampening plates on the side.

7) Slide the "CM 4-in-3" back into the case throught the front opening, and close up the front panels.

I make installation fun!
