Your custom labware definition needs to include a stackingOffsetWithLabware object that specifies the Heater-Shaker adapter you want to place the labware on, and the amount in mm that they overlap when stacked. See the labware schema explanation in the Flex Instruction Manual for more info.

Currently you need to add that object by manually modifying the labware definition JSON file. A future update to Labware Creator will also support adding and editing stacking offsets.
