driver side interior ground location

So I've been searching behind the kick panel on the drivers side and can't seem to find a ground location. I know it has to be right in front of me but could anyone provide some advice for finding a good ground spot. Thanks in advance.

Thank you So much! I've never ran into this problem before not even with my countryman. So I was just scratching my head thinking I was crazy for not seeing one

I was adding my quad driving lights and needed the ground for my switch. Had to add on a little wire since it was a little short to reach that far but it all worked out. Really appreciate the quick help, thanks again.
