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:
