Yes, those fields are not included in your configuration file, but can
be inserted.
It's kind of arbitrary, but you could insert those <mount>…</mount>
sections/lines after the second </listen-socket> and before the <limits>
line.

I *strongly* recommend to create a backup copy of the working config
file! It's easy to miss something and end up with Icecast refusing to start.

So this line defines to which mountpoint a Shoutcast source client gets
redirected:
> <shoutcast-mount>/rock</shoutcast-mount>

That's an implicit mount definition.
If you want to be able to use Shoutcast source clients for either mount,
then your configuration will have to change a bit.
It's described here:
https://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/config-file.html#backward-compatibility-with-shoutcast-source-clients
If you need help with making those modifications, I'm sure there are
people on the mailing list who can lend a hand.
