I am new to the hobby,
Have a cycled 30 gallon nano and am ready to add corals. I have a jebao wavemaker and nicrew marine leds, don’t know if that helps though. I have seen all the posts about how to get a ricordea to attach to some rock rubble, but where in my tank should I place in afterwards. How high up and how much flow? On my main rockwork? On an island? On the sand bed? Please let me know.

Really depends on your light but mid level to low level typically. Some people prefer the island technique because they can multiply quickly.

Lower flow for sure. When acclimated to it, they can take quite a bit of light but don't need it.
Yes, give them some space. They can grow quickly, and although they don't have sweepers, thier sting is potent.
