Place the mouse on the bottom centre of the compass and drag it to the part, you will see that it will try to attach to the part at different points. When it on the face, axis or whichever point you want, let go of the mouse and it will attach to the model.
There are two ways to move the part

1/ Double click on the top centre of the compass to activate the compass manipulation box.

2/ Use one of the three manipulation handles attached to the compass
 
If you can access Assembly Design workbench, you can also use 'Manipulation' tool to translate and rotate the parts with respect to x,y,z or a selected entity
