if its permanent it should be secured somewhere

If the circuit board touches metal it will short and you can kiss that hdd goodbye.

Would your motherboard short out if you took a paperclip and started touching contacts...well same basic theory. On the bottom of the hdd there is a board, if your case touches that board then those contacts will short and end game. You can sit your hdd on the bottom, as long as metal isn't touching that board, but its risky because if you even bump your pc it could move wrong and poof.
Can I ask why you need to do this?

You should put the hard drive somewhere safe and well ventilated. So yes, move it back. Or create your own rack.
