How do you edit the info on the right of the page regarding y-DNA testing?

I want to edit the right side of the page that currently says: 

However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. 

There is a yDNA test for Frey/Frye/Fry males and I want to include a link to that page.

You would find the profile for the person who actually took the y-dna test and add their info to that page. Then it would eventually propagate throughout all the connected profiles.

Otherwise, add the link, either to the biography on Benjamin's profile, or in the Public Comment box on the side (below the dna info)

The DNA Connection section on the right side merely gathers existing and connected WikiTree test takers and lists them there.

Dear Elaine, Dennis is correct.  You have to edit the profiles for the actual test participant.

When I want to note that a particular man is a descendant or ancestor of a yDNA tested line, I enter a paragraph in the == Biography ==.  Here is an example:

<nowiki>

=== DNA ===

Descendant of yDNA group NE01 [[Smith-1852|Lt. Samuel Smith-1852]] (c1601 ENG-1681 MA) m [[Smyth-346|Elizabeth Smyth-346]]. See SmithConnections Northeastern DNA Project.<ref>[https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/smith-connections/links SmithConnections Northeastern DNA Project], haplogroup Rb1 NE01 Lt. Samuel Smith.</ref>

== Sources ==
<references />

</nowiki>

This is how that paragraph appears on the profile:

DNA

Descendant of yDNA group NE01 Lt. Samuel Smith-1852 (c1601 ENG-1681 MA) m Elizabeth Smyth-346. See SmithConnections Northeastern DNA Project.[1]
