The configuration should be placed in $HOME/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc. There
is a FAQ section regarding AnotherLevel too:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 I use FVWM on a RedHat Linux system and can't figure out how to
     change my FVWM configuration. I've read the FVWM man page but when
     I edit my .fvwm2rc nothing seems to happen. What's going on?

A: RedHat Linux installs the X server accompanied (by default) by a
   configuration management system. In earlier releases it was called
   TheNextLevel and in more recent releases it's called AnotherLevel.
   For further information about TheNextLevel, consult RedHat's
   documentation in /usr/doc/TheNextLevel/. For information about
   AnotherLevel, do a 'man AnotherLevel'.
