Headlight leveling sensor location?

Hey guys need a little help if anyone has a minute.
I have been reworking my mini (2005 R53) and in the process I stripped it down to the shell, motor, drivetrain suspension all out.
I took tons of pictures and made notes for getting everything back together in the right order etc. But seem to have missed the front leveling sensor and can't seem to find any clear pictures online how it is supposed to be mounted. I'm sure it's something simple but I'm stuck. lol

Thanks
Clinton

Thanks for the reply, but no that doesnt help. I had that and a Bently manual neither tell me the location.
But digging further into my pieces I figured it out so I'm all good.

the front one is on the left front control arm with a small 10mm hex bolt

The rear mounts to the left rear upper control arm with two screws.

Thanks for the reply but like I said last post I figured it out.

The rear I had on NP had to actual drill and tap my control arm since I used the bottoms for the top since they were in better shape and I went adjustable for the bottoms.

The front I knew mounted on the control arm just couldn't figure where it mounted to the frame. Turns out the Moog ball joint while shows the second hole punched did not come with it. So a quick look at my old joint and I figured it out pretty quick, little mode to the mount and all good.
