Nope. SSDs do not rotate and do not heat up much, if any at all. You can also stick it to the sides, but the bottom is the most efficient as far as space goes.

I don't run HP, I just like helping others!

No need for an adaptor. What I have seen people do, and what you can do is, double-stick tape it to the bottom of the case. An SSD is very light and compact so that is indeed an option.
