If 放心 translate to relax on the card, why does 没放心上 translate to "not take to heart"?

放心 is a fixed compound word and 放心上 are three separate characters, where 放 is referring to the 事儿 they're talking about, saying not to place it on your 心, i.e. "take it to heart".

In that case, should this not be an example sentence for 放 instead?
