Need help locating where the rear factory lowering links are

I have a 2005 S430 without ABC. I installed the lowering links on the front of my vehicle. The instructions said I dont need to purchase links for the rear as there are current links in the rear which can be adjusted. I had removed both rear tires but for the life of me could not locate where the factory links are located. I've seen a pic online somewhere with a screw in the middle of the factory link that you can adjust, but couldnt find anything that can be adjusted. Also, I cant find the rear airmatic sensory arm. Can someone please help? Posted some pics. Can someone please tell me on the pic where it is located? Thanks

The sway bar is not connected with any height sensor I can adjust

The link from the suspension to the level sensor is in the center of the anti-sway bay, from the bar to the chassis-mounted sensor.

I dont see any thing connected to the anti sway bar. Also don't see anything with a sensory arm. Someone please help. Maybe there's no adjustable links for my car?

There is nothing connected to the sway bar that I can adjust. Could it be that my car doesn't have one? I looked all over and can't find anything I can adjust. Thanks

The sensor that you are hunting is B 22/3.
