Where the heck does this bracket go in the engine bay?? R53

Hey team, I did an engine rebuild (JCW head, new rings, valves, bearings etc.) and as I am putting the motor back together I can't quite figure out where this one silly bracket goes. I like OEM and searched countless threads but there is just no photo of this bracket. It's attached to the negative cable of the jump terminal in the engine bay. I also don't know where the negative terminal goes. See two red arrows. If anyone has a photo I would be eternally grateful.

Looking in my engine bay I see it mounted just below the thermostat housing. Can see where the mounting screw(s) goes, it's buried.
