  Out of the box, this will move the cursor ("placing point at the end of
the yanked text").  Precisely what the OP didn't want.

  But hey, emacs is nothing if not customizable. :)

  Just add to ~/.emacs (and eval the form, or restart emacs) the following
or something like it (TIMTOWTDI):

(advice-add 'mouse-yank-secondary :around
            #'(lambda (orig-fun &rest args)
                "Preserve point and mark and stuff"
                (save-excursion
                  (apply orig-fun args))))
