Help me find the knock sensor (Pic inside)

My brother's car has been having some timing issues and is registering knock at low rpms and causing the DAM to drop ~0.06-0.2. Thread with data log here:

https://www.i-club.com/forums/bay-ar...please-237886/

Anyway, we are trying to rule out a loose knock sensor and cannot seem to find it even after doing a bunch of searches online. Can anyone point it out in this picture? It's a 2006 wrx.

Found it, had to take off the throttle body. I think we will just re torque it to spec and hope that solves the problem.
