The system configuration of Guix works a little differently from
manipulating the config files directly.  Instead, the whole system
configuration is done inside of an operating-system record in a Scheme
file (see [1] for more info).  You can add your Xorg configuration to
the xorg-configuration record field of your display manager (see [2])
and then run `guix system reconfigure /path/to/your/config.scm'.  If you
have installed Guix via its graphical installer you should find your
system configuration at `/etc/config.scm'.

Best
Daniel
