I don’t know exactly what you want but here is what i think it is:

You can assign the custom forms to widgets, unfortunately it’s only possible on ACF5.

First step is creating your widget:

class CustomWidget extends WP_Widget {
	function __construct() {
		parent::__construct(
			'custom_widget', // Base ID
			__('CustomWidget', 'text_domain'), // Name
			array( 'description' => __( 'Some CustomWidget', 'text_domain' ), ) 
		);
	}
}
 
// register Foo_Widget widget
function register_foo_widget() {
    register_widget( 'CustomWidget' );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'register_foo_widget' );

After that, on the menu go Custom Fields > Custom Fields > Your Field > At the Location tab (Rules) choose on the first select “Widget” after that select “is equal to” and the name of your widget, in this case: “CustomWidget”.

After that save your field, go to theme > widget and drag and drop your widget on the area that you want.

I’m sending 2 pictures, on of the configuration field, and the other is the widget panel.

Hope this helps you! =D
