Need help finding 2011 ML350 Rear SAM Location

I've been beset by various light and door error codes, so I tried to inspect the rear SAM for water penetration but i'm embarrassed to say I cannot find it.
I've looked for hours at various threads which contained pictures, viewed russian youtube videos and used user submitted pdf files to take apart my trunk.

I have removed the fuse box, all the trim and found various things (white box under the trim, a rounded box with coax style wire near the spare) but nothing that looks like a SAM to me based on its pictures.

The only thing I have not taken off is a rounded plastic cover that is in both wheelhouses (red arrow on attached picture), so unless that is it, I am lost or looking in the wrong place.

my VIN is 4JGBB8GB0BA679320

I was basing my physical search on this document, which says right wheelhouse but till model year 8 - I don't honestly know if that includes or excludes 2011.
