Crankshaft position sensor location for this engine

Question

I have a ‘12 Lincoln mkz and it won’t crank, I'm assuming it’s a fuel system issue but i want to eliminate other possibilities first so I'm trying to check the crankshaft position sensor on it. I checked other diagrams for the 3.5 v6 and still can’t seem to find where they’ve hidden it.
