Samsung magician said to plug my new SSD into the port where my old one was. Is this necessary?

Initially, I plugged my new SSD where the hard drive was. I got a read/write speed of 500ish. When I plugged SSD into the old SSDs port, it got cut in half.

Is it ok if I plug my new SSD into the port where the HDD was? Then plug the HDD in where the old SSD was plugged in?
