Maybe I'm being dumb but On the "Help" menu? Specifically the item labelled "Contents"? That's where the help is for every application. As regards icon placement, I don't know, but does the bash script at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1320316/where-desktop-icon-positions-are-saved-in-mate help? Looking at the description at https://wiki.mate-desktop.org/mate-desktop/components/marco/ it seems that there is a choice of what window manager you use, which I suppose might affect where icons are placed on the desktop. There's also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MATE I agree there seems to be a lack of documentation. There are lots of hits on google though to queries like mate-desktop icon placement.
