No, you don't want the install location to be there.

Third-party frameworks should never be installed in the
/System/Library/Frameworks directory. Access to this directory is restricted
and is reserved for Apple-provided frameworks only.

Regardless, the linker searches /Library/Frameworks before
/System/Library/Frameworks so a user-installed framework gets priority over
the system one.
