Default Another pic request. Oil dipstick fitting

I've checked the AIM and already got some advice but I'm still having trouble refitting the oil dipstick tube.

Down by my starter I have what appears to be some kind of thin metal that is not shown in my AIM, at least not on the pages showing the tube placement.

From under the car I can see where the block / pan kicks out but from above its obstructed by the starter and the metal work. I can't see or feel the hole for the tube.

Any tips or pics appreciated. Last request honest!!!! ( for now )

Oops. Looks like there is a front A/C brace at the bottom front.
