Location of Baffle to Filler Plate Seal on 4sp 68 442

Hey Guy's, I am looking for the exact location (pictures would be great) of the Baffle to Filler Plate Seal on a 68 442 4 speed. I was told that the 4 speeds only have one and automatic two. I know it's missing but were do I install the new one? They are three holes and I have the fasteners for them. Thanks in advance.

Here's the page from the assembly manual,it shows them being pushed up, sitting on top of the frame,but as rktdoc says he's done lots of '68-9s & none of them had the baffles pushed up on top of the frame like the manual shows. My originals had the three holes in them just like the repops but they were stapled in place from the factory.It is an original 4spd car & even though it's only suppose to have one on the pass side only, it had them on both sides,just hanging down. I added repop red fender wells on mine & I just used the 3 green clips that came with them. I restored my original black wells before I changed over to the red ones,I used staples on them since the hole were already there. There is a mark, like a line, on the original liners as to where to attach them.

Thanks Rob, nice restoration work. I found mine on the back of both inner fenders (even if it's supposed to only have one) but I thought they were in the wrong place as I cannot see the purpose of them. Mine didn't have the three holes in them but had three staples in them. Does anybody know what purpose they serve behind the inner fenders?
