Default Possibles bad rfa

Hi guys, working on our junkyard find. I was getting the service tires scrolling since we got the car running. We checked the tire sensors and they were bad, no signal. I programmed new Autel duel frequency sensors and had the tire shop install them.was unable to get the LF to sync using the magnet, thru the DIC, no horn blow, but when I went back to the car I had pressures for the other three wheels, no change even after a road test. Shut car off and checked a hr. Later and all 4 tires read blank. NoXXX like my c6. Plugged my scanner in to ck BCM and get loss of communication with Bcm and all 4 sensor codes. Can’t ck remote locks never had a FOB. Almost like the RFA came unplugged or died. The manual says it’s behind the LR interior panel towards the rear cubby. I read in the forum that they put them in different spots. Mines a base 97 coupe. Can someone confirm the location so I don’t end up removing the whole interior again. On the plus side, if it needs a new RFA receiver, I can put in a later model since my sensors are dual frequency. Thanks for any input. Don’t know what I was thinking, that it would be as easy as sensors.

That's the right location on a 1997.
