Where exactly is the charging coil located?

I want to apply a Magsafe ring that I have, I am trying to figure out where exactly on the back of the Pixel 8 is the wireless charging coil. Any help in finding that coil would help.

On the dbrand website, their teardown skins have the coil pictured, it seems pretty close to the location of case manufacturers and I guess I trust their scanning practices

The X-ray diagram shows the coil slightly below the G logo, but I'd read before that a teardown showed it dead center under the G logo. So I'm confused on what to believe now. I have seen up to 3500mA charging with the case I bought though (with maybe a 1200mA average so far), which is dead center on the G logo, but I don't know how efficient or inefficient that is yet.

Hi @sumedhphadke

Here's a teardown video for the phone that may help.

The NFC and wireless charging coil location is shown at 8:01- 8:04 minutes into the video
