Earthing location confusion 2012 1.0 ecoboost

Could someone help to locate an earth wire/cable.

After removing/refitting a 1.0 ecoboost engine I've been happily refitting parts until I came to the earthing point on the rear right corner of the cylinder head ( looking from the front).

For some reason I can't locate the cable. Seems ridiculous but was stumped today. Am I missing the obvious or could I have tucked it out of sight?

Scoured the internet but no joy.

    Not my cylinder head but screenshot shows the earth/ground point bolt position I'm interested in 

    I know this location is very difficult to see on an installed engine, being obscured by various parts including pipes and brackets. Just hoping someone remembers it or has the part visible.

    Earth ring terminal and associated wire found. Situated at the position on the loom where the two exhaust sensors plug in.

    Had trapped it behind the starter cable bracket that piggybacks to the top of the starter motor.

    Unable to see where it comes from as wrapped with other cables.
