Need assistance! Engine swap. Can't find ground location. Picture inside...

Guys

I am done with all the wiring on my 6th gen to 5.5 gen swap, but one ground wire has me stumped. I cannot recall the proper location and am unable to find any bolt or rubbed surfaces that would give me any hint to where this is suppose to connect.

BLACK/YELLOW ground wire coming from the (-) battery and body ground location on driver side fender circled in red (as if you couldn't tell )...

On my car, it's bolted to the top of the trans.
If you look down at the trans from the top left corner of the battery tray, it's a few inces to the left.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Filling up all the fluids now.

Oil - DONE
Brake/Clutch Fluid - DONE
Transmission Gear Oil - TAKING FOREVER! ETA Unknown LOL
Radiator - Still needs done.
Steering - Still needs done.

Hoping to get started today!

Mechanically, all that needs done is connect clutch cables and y-pipe and that's it.
