Default Knock sensor location for GEN2 3.5L EB, and P0330 code

My wifes new to us 17 Lariat had the check engine light come on today. I put my reader on it, and it has thrown a P0330 code. I guess this is the #2 bank knock sensor not working correctly? Where are the knock sensors at on the EB. Not much info I'm seeing on the web about EB engine having knock sensors acting up. I did change the spark plugs the other day, and put the colder FR plugs in it, as I plan to get it tuned soon, but that went fine. Pretty easy vehicle to change plugs on. The truck is warranted as of now, but if this is an easy fix I don't think it's worth the $100 deductible, but IDK. Could this be something other than just a knock sensor replacement to fix the issue?

According to my 2018 service manual, you have to take off both the LH and RH Direct and Port fuel injection rails so they are going to be under those.

Sounds like it would be worth the $100 deductible for sure.

I would first check the harness connector and make sure it is plugged in correctly.

Out of curiosity, what plugs did you put in?

Thanks,

I'm starting to think the same thing.

I installed the Ford Racing M-12405-35T plugs which are supposed to be 1 step colder than OEM.

Go to 22:56 in this video...you can see where they are located between the two heads. Obviously, you can get to them far before this point of disassembly but you can see them in this shot.

Got the engine light on, and code P0330. Yep, had the top of the engine come off by the Dealer. Intake manifold, fuel rail, injectors, etc. FYI if it helps anyone, it took about 7 hours, gaskets, parts, o rings. ... $1,800 for the full job (Canadian). Looks like a mice chew situation. Little buggers.
