I am struggling trying to figure out what you mean by just use component. Could you add a little more detail please?

a component is always showing the content of that component when included in a template

so you should create a component, add the code for the form into that and include that into your template
or you can add the code of the form into the sidebar component

the classic component "sidebar" which I assume you are seeing is the component which is visible at the right sidebar of the Innovation theme
if you use that theme, edit the content of that component and the form will show up

Ok so you mean I will have to go to edit component and add textarea and submit input into the content ?
