Vecna's biggest jam is secrets and lost lore. There's no way that he'd have hidden his soul in some place that any other creature knows about.
my favorite theory is that he has multiple Phylacteries, like his eye & hand. like Voldemort's Horcruxes.
My favorite theory is that he keeps his Phylactery in a desolate place, one shunned by the gods. A place so dark and sinister that even demons and devils fear to venture.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.

my other favorite theory is that they keep their Phylactery in a place feared by the gods, where magic doesn't work, a fiery hellscape. particularly in a cursed city known as El'ayye, where once you go in, they don't let you leave.

Undying. If Vecna is slain, his soul refuses to accept its fate and lives on as a disembodied spirit that fashions a new body for itself after 1d100 years.
His soul isn't in a phylactery, it is right there with his body and refuses to move on. It's not in the book of vile darkness. It's not in the famous eye or hand. If his soul was tied to anything other than his body at the time of the arch lich stat block, then the default upon body death would be for it to move to that anchoring object. But that movement isn't the default - the default for his soul is to move on to the fate after death, which the soul refuses. As an arch lich, he has advanced beyond the need for a physical phylactery - his soul is strong enough to stand against the force of death by itself, without the assistance that the inferior normal liches require.
Yes, this is the new rule. And hey fine, but as I mentioned earlier I wouldn't want to loose the trope of an evil beings soul being held in some object, like a jar.
It's always been a part of the lich, and Vecna. Loosing it tosses out a fun and intriguing part of what makes up this creature. The object itself is his Achilles Heel, if you find it and smash it, Vecna is effectively destroyed. Like all demonic monsters in stories, there's always a price they pay for their evil power, and becoming a lich means putting your soul in a jar for any Joe Blow to smash. And I like the idea of purposely removing your soul to gain power. It just reeks of pure psychotic ambition.

His phylactery is clearly in Texas, because NJ is the D&D luck capital in the world.
