If I am not wrong, you need to extract the zip file in its respective system-images folder.

The path in Windows OS will be: {username}\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\system-images\android-25\google_apis\x86_64

Where android-25 is the version, which in your case is 25.

The path in Linux & Mac will be respective to SDK's system-images folder path as SDK images does not change & are independent of OS.

If any similar system image exists on the same path, just create a new folder for your downloaded zip and extract it into that new folder. If no folder exists, then create one.

Inside android-25 folder, if your downloaded image is Google APIs then the folder name should be google_apis, if the downloaded image is Google APIs with Play Store then folder name must be google_apis_playstore

Note: This answer is based on my knowledge & previous experience in Windows, I do not hold any responsibility if you mess anything in your SDK. I strongly recommend you to first have a closer look at all the directories and folders under system-images folder to have a better understanding and easier solution.
