It dosn't have to, just where most people put there skimmer (in-sump skimmers).
You can put the skimmer anywhere you have sufficient water hight to allow it to work.
Most HOB skimmers don't work well in-sump due to the lowered water hight in the sump for backflow in case of power outage.

If you want and you feel comfortable working with the glass or plexy (witchever you'r sump is made of) you could raise (add a baffle that's taller to the one there) the 1st baffle after the overflow inlet to make that chamber the hight you would need/like for the skimmer and just use the middle chamber as a fuge.

That is what I did to use my CPR backpack in-sump.

Hope that helps.
