Where should I put my corrosive MC?

Put it on its own fire group and fire it sparingly, synth more ammo, or roll corrosive high cap magazine. Best options.

Yeah, I'll have to rearrange things somewhat when I get a chance, but there will be much hunting about for materials between now and then. For the time being it works well enough and I have synth mats for several reloads should I need it. My anaconda has reached a strange balance where it works quite well against a range of situations but is not meta max.
I have:
a pair of Large Turreted Pulses up top (emissive and scramble spectrum) which are extremely effective vs nimbler craft but obviously forgoes max alpha in exchange for useful effects. I forget the base mods on them but iirc it's a lightweight and a SRB (level 1s).
The bottom Large is a gimballed MC (OC5) Incendiary.
The Huge is also a gimballed MC (OC5) but with no special effect (very nice roll though).
The medium side hardpoints house a multicannon (OC5) Corrosive and a gimballed cannon (high cap level 3) dispersal field wish is quite useful for its effect and module sniping.
On the smalls I have both High Cap level 3. One is a feedback Cascade rail and the other a drag munitions seeker.

I also have resistant grade five shields (6a) supported by five ABoosters (mixed effects), a modded 7a SCB and a 6a SCB. A pair of heat sinks works well for timed dual release.
And a single chaff.

She's an odd ship, but she does the trick really well for me in a variety of circumstances... oh, yes also a pair of SLFs.

This is exactly what I've done to save ammo and extend combat time...

I have 3 fire groups which I run in this order:

1: 2 x Medium Turreted G5 Rapid Fire Pulse and 1 x Large Gimballed G5 OC Pulse with Scramble - For taking down weak shields and small ships with no ammo cost

2: All of the above plus 2 x Huge G5 OC MC with Incendiary for taking down stronger shields and medium/large ships

3: All of the above plus 2 x Small Turreted MCs. One G5 OC and one G1 High Capacity with Corrosive for an added hull DPS boost when fighting anything I want to take down in 5 seconds flat. Or when I need to chew through a wing quickly.
