M3 Engine cowl hood sensor switch placement?

I switched out the standard engine bay cowl for the M3 one to provide a way to vent hot air out of the engine bay. (That big one the BMS cowl filters are tended to help replace.) My only problem now is finding a place that the hood sensor for the alarm can mount to. There are two screw holes on the cowl but neither seem to provide the proper fit for the switch.

To help aid in your understanding....

M3 Engine Cowl (#2 & 3): M3 Engine Cowl


Engine Bay alarm switch (#5 & 6): BMW Hood Switch


Has anyone done this where the switch is mounted in an OEM location? I've verified that the M3 does come with this switch if purchased with an alarm, I just can't find a diagram to show the mounting location of said switch.

Any help would be awesome!
