If you check the very top of the spell editor, you will see button position.

The first is left->right & the second is top-> down.

for example, if you set them to 0:0, you will find the icon at the top left corner.
If you set them to 2:1, you will find it at the second from the left bottom.

If this was hard to understand i can make a quick paint pictue to show you.

This will make you clearly, but this is unit one, but ability is the same concept.
you can find those thing also.

Art - Button Position (X) (Integer)
Defines in which column to place the button for the unit/building/hero, in the bottom-right command-interface area. A building's button can be viewed in the construction tab of a worker unit who can construct that building. For units and heroes, it can be viewed in the building in which the unit or hero is trained. Column values range from 0 (Left-most column) to 3 (Right-most column).

Art - Button Position (Y) (Integer)
Defines in which row to place the button for the unit/building/hero, in the bottom-right command-interface area. A building's button can be viewed in the construction tab of a worker unit who can construct that building. For units and heroes, it can be viewed in the building in which the unit or hero is trained. Row values range from 0 (top-most row) to 2 (Bottom-most row).

For hero abilities you can set the Research button positions as well - this one can fit anywhere excluding 2/3 (that's the cancel position).

Auto-cast abilities also have Turn-Off button positions which I recommend to be put the same as the Normal button positions, otherwise it'll switch button position every time you switch autocast on and off.
