Need Help with Front Height Level Sensor Installation

I'm in the middle of a retrofit project and the only thing I'm stuck with is how to connect the front height level sensor to the suspension. My car did not come equipped with it so I don't know how it's supposed to be installed.
It has a bracket at the end of the arm that reaches various suspension components but I can't figure out where it's supposed to attach.
My car is a facelift W212 (2016).
A diagram, picture or any info is greatly appreciated

That's exactly what I needed. You came through as always - much appreciated

Here's some closeups in case they can help someone else out

E 220 Wagon, 2012 mod.
Length of linkage/rod

Anyone know or has the opportunity to measure the length of the linkage/rod on this sensor ?
I have a 2012 mod E 220 where the rear suspension is sitting a bit high, and fount that the Linkage/rod is missing on the left front height level sensor, according to MB dealership this rod is not in their partlist, only a complete new sensor, so i would rather make one myself then..

Never measured it, but I can tell you that they are very sensitive to the slightest variations.
You might be better off buying a used sensor on eBay or a junk yard and use the rod off of it.

(P.S. If you replace the entire sensor, you will need to have it re-calibrated).
