So this is my current sump layout. I’m trying to figure out a way to place chaeto in my sump but so it doesn’t float all over the place.

Can you guys please post pictures of what you have. I also want to use the sump space I have so don’t want to use a separate chaeto reactor

If you don't want to use a separate reactor i would say utilizing egg crate is your best bet. You can get it at Lowes or THD. can zip tie as shown below to make a separate chamber within a chamber, or can silicone it in as well.

Hmmm that could work… only issue is that the egg crate might move can’t really hold it still
 
If you make it to width of your sump compartment you can put a dab of silicone to hold in place. You can make the egg crate taller than your baffles so the silicone will be above the water, then you don't need to drain your sump to install.

Noted, should it after the filter socks or before the return?
