Just drag and drop onto the mechanic and dock the solution explorer window to the left side of the window. You must drop the panel onto the fastener, in the position you wish it to be docked (in the case, the rectangle on the left of the fastener, highlighted with a red circle).

If you open the Solution Explorer during a debugging session, it should get saved as a preference when you close Visual Studio, making sure that it gets opened the next time you debug.

When debugging go to View -> Solution Explorer to see the solution explorer. As long as you don't close it, it should show up wherever you leave it the next time you are debugging.
