Take another look at the workshop manual photos - you can identify the CAN Gateway on the photo. That should help you locate the sensor location (in relation to the gateway).

Does the sensor not twist in like the upper vent sensor does? From what I’m seeing in the workshop picture, it clips into something (possibly metal frame?)

I concur. Hopefully I can provide real life pictures when I find the hole (giggity lol)
this whole thing shouldn’t be this complicated to read. For goodness sakes, even a workshop page was provided lol.
No, it doesn't twist. It clips in.

This entire time I’ve been trying to use the picture but couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t matching up. I thought you had to twist it in. I’ll have to get back under there.
Hahahaha didn't notice how similar it was!You guys need to change your profile pics.
I got lost reading through the comments. Thought I was going mad.

Sorry for being an absent father on this post chaps, I was meaning to do the necessary work at my end to check sensor resistances etc but my fuel pump controller died last week, dealing with that on top of work means no time.
Going to try and sort things this week.

So I think I might be into something....
I was looking around and came across these units which have sensors (circled in red)
Then took mine out (this is the section leading to the driver side footwell vents) and realized mine doesn’t have this sensor (as expected) nor a grommet.
However, it does appear to have markings where it would be located IF it were to be equipped.
The harness and surroundings you see in this following picture appears to be identical to the on in the shop manual picture.
If someone has fitted the sensor without drilling anything, can you please share where you installed it (and please don’t refer me to the work shop page Tom posted in page 7 lol)
Drilling a hole is sounding so much easier lol

My kit arrived today! Also came with one straight sensor and one right angle sensor. Looks like they updated the kit. Appearance and feel is very OEM with the Aliexpress kit. I was going to source an OEM unit in case I wasn’t happy with the finish; but doesn’t look like I’ll need to
