thanks.
Kindle dictionary format is the original MOBI format, not KFX. They appear as .azw on the Kindle

I do not think you need to put them in /documents/dictionaries (anywhere in /documents should work), but it's probably convenient to keep them there.

This is a good article about where to find 3rd party dictionaries or how to create your own:
