Anyone have any expertise with 2002 Ford F150?

I’m trying to reinstall my intake manifold control rod because the bushings had dissolved into dust and it was hanging from one side. So now that I got new bushings I can’t find where it connects in the back of the engine. I even asked a mechanic and he said he couldn’t figure it out from his schematics. I can usually find examples on YouTube or online but I’m coming up with nothing or they just say “feel around in the back of the engine and you’ll figure it out”. If anyone has any pointers for reinstalling this piece it would be greatly appreciated!

Which engine do you have on your truck?
