I need a bit of guidance on where it's at. Does anyone have any diagrams or manual info they could share on its location? Thank you!

The shift solenoids are in the valve body which is on the side of the transmission. Here is an image of what I am talking about below. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
