I don't think it will fit there. Due to the space and flat areas on MoBo I do think you have means to rig some type of a shelf together between the back of the 500 to the keyboard and rest the 2.5" HDD drive safely there.
A500 Internal HD?

So, I have an ICD AdIDE in one of my oldest revision 3 Amiga 500 C=-keyboards
It’s been mounted since about ‘90-‘91, and works with KS 1.2 and 1.3 - newer also.
One quirk is that booting really only works on the card *if* an LED is installed on the header of the card. Go figure; I think there is a test for resistance, but maybe it’s a slight fault of the card.
Performance is absolutely stellar - if you compare to floppy. The machine really feels zippy, but in reality, it’s only about 5-600 kb/sec.
Using the machine for office and programming is a breeze. Highly recommend upgrade, especially for it’s time period originality.
Pictures of the hard drive installed with the original bracket. I might just make a batch of those brackets…
