You aren't very specific about what you mean with "where". Do you mean in the list of instruments? I don't have PrintMusic (I have the full Finale though), but I don't believe there's a "gong" instrument. You might be best off using something like tubular bells, and just writing "Gong" as the instrument name.

Unless you actually don't mean a gong but a tamtam (i.e. the unpitched instrument), in which case it'd be somewhere in the normal percussion palette. I -really- doubt you can get a good tamtam sound straight out of finale though, without any sample libraries. I never bother myself (I only use Finale for creating scores anyways, not for playback).
