Default Hatch Manual release pulls

Cannot find the two manual release pulls for the rear hatch.
I did discover that the car had a thermal/sound barrier installed throughout. Could the releases have been covered? I cannot even find any holes that they would be threaded through. What am I missing?

FOUND THEM As I suspected, when the insulation was installed they put the cables back under the rear finish panel.
They are thin and easily missed. There is no guide hole, the wire just sits under the floor finish panel into the storage compartments.
