Up front in the center attached to the support above the valance. Shot of the harness and link to see what the sensor itself looks like.

Is the sensor supposed to just hang there like that, or is it usually attached somewhere? Mine just dangles behind the bumper and I can’t figure out how it should be attached.

The sensor itself should have a small tab on the side of it. Like these. > https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/...re+sensor,7000

OK, that makes more sense. Mine has the short tab, but no long tab with attach hole. I suppose the big tab is still attached to the crossmember someplace. Time to dig out a flashlight and find that missing piece.

Drill a hole into the small tab and use a ziptie to secure it.
