You need to kill the waves of adds that spawn after clicking the fragment, until a bigger one appears. The quest only progresses after you defeat that bigger one.
I ran away right away and thought it was bugged 😄
Hopefully this helps someone!

Description

Adarus is preparing his mind and body for the ritual. Our task is to place the fragment at two points within this cavern, which will both align the crystal to the void energy in the area and attract any void entities that reside nearby. Defeat those entities and their essence will be absorbed into the fragment, empowering it further.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Void ConfluenceK'aresh · Level 80

    At last, <name>. With the promise of this fragment's power, and my mastery over the illidari ways, I will be ready to fight the shadowguard and any other threats the void throws at us. Leona spoke of a cave near Shan'dorah where the void energies suffusing K'aresh converge.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • ChaosK'aresh · Level 80

    This is it, <name>. Place the K'areshi fragment above Adarus, and I will channel the void lure containing Ramon'ta's void essence into the shard. Adarus is powerful and determined, but we're attempting something both experimental and dangerous. I'll ask you to be vigilant.
