Default Jump starting w/ catch can

Car sat for a month and went out to start today and battery was dead. First time since owning this has happened. I have a catch can that’s blocking the bolt on the header so can’t use that for negative. There has to be another spot…but I can’t pick one out. Specific suggestions on where to attach?

12" in front of the engine fuse box, on the chassic is a ground stud.
Look for the factory funky silver clip with wings that use when they build the car right about where the hood strut bolts in ,and ground stud is right behind it towards the engine fuse box. Can't miss is, since will see a ground wire right under the stud bolt.

Thanks fellas. Plugged in the trickle charger last night and just went out to start and fired right up. I’m hoping battery isn’t shot. Will definitely reference these posts in future if needed.
