It's at the end of the fuel rail on the timing belt end. You will see a stabilising link from the engine mounting to the engine, if you look directly down and just to the left you will see the sensor. It is quite hard to reach and does require some dismantling before you can get at it. Also, just to point out that it is much more likely that the crank sensor is faulty rather than that cam sensor, these engines have common faults with the crank sensor.

oh thank you for that. i was really struggling to find it.
also about the crank sensor, on the diagnostics the code that only came up was the camshaft sensor, p0341. ima try and replace the cam sensor if not then ill replace the crank as well, hopefully itl start by then. thanks again for the help.

The only way to see the sensor is get under the car and look in the gap above the drive shaft into the bottom of the engine bay , follow the two wire cables to the oil sensor and the camshaft sensor
That is the only way to access it easily
