Perhaps you can use the ‘wp_insert_post’ action to call wp_set_post_categories(…) after the post is stored in the database.
I think this does work in a theme’s function.php (preferably a child theme), but to me it seems better to use a plugin to change things that happen in the admin screens.
I’m confused as to what you are trying to do. Functions.php is for defining functions. It can pretty much go anywhere.
As per the CODEX page just add 'post_category' => [ array(<category id>, to your array.
Have you looked at the CODEX page for the wp_insert_post function http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post
