There is no reason for the SOul Stone to be in Wakanda. The Stone is supposedly powerful enough to control the souls of others (to what extent is unclear), so the theory that it's in a large piece of metal for all this time and has had no affects on it or the people who are regularly interacting with the vibranium meteor is illogical.

To get it, they'd have to destroy the meteor, which, if the Soul Stone is actually the source for its power, would render the metal inert
