P0453 Where is the EVAP pressure sensor located?

I have a 2016 GLE 350 with a hard DTC P0453. I have cleared it and it came right back. Apparently this DTC means the EVAP pressure sensor voltage is high or it is shorted to voltage according to my scan tool. In order to start diagnosis, I need to locate the sensor. Can someone please tell me where it is located? Can it be accessed without dropping the fuel tank? Thank you, Gil

Fuel tank pressure sensor can also cause the P0453.

May have to remove the metal bumper frame.

Where are you in the vehicle? Doesn't look familiar. Given the hex feature for removal, if you can't get a socket in there, more components need to come out, or the assembly into which the sensor is installed needs to come out from the other direction.
