Place the wood on the base of the tank first then fill surrounding with soil. That's how I did it, but it also depends alot on the shape of the wood.

Alternatively you can tie some fishing weights to the bottom of your drift wood and cover them with soil.

Picture tells a thousand words. Why not show a picture of the tank with the drift wood. Bros here will be able to provide proper advise to you.
