When you create the child device, assign it to the same Rack as the parent device (but do not assign it to a Position, leave that blank). Then go to the parent device, and under Device Bays, click the + (Install Device) button on the bay you want to install it in. Select the child device, then you should be done.

If this doesn't work make sure your Device Types are set up correctly, check the Parent and Child settings for each type.
