Default Ground strap from r/h ignition coil bracket

I have a 1988 S4 and am changing the distributor caps and rotors. I noticed a ground strap from the r/h ignition coil mounting bracket that isn't attached to anything on the other end. The left hand coil bracket has a ground strap which mounts to the cylinder head behind the TB. I looked below the r/h cam cover area but couldn't find a mounting point for the ground strap, where does it mount too?

Right side should bolt to the lift point.

Lift point? To lift the engine?

Yes near the hall sender. There's a 10mm nut on the lift point.

This is the area just above the loose ground strap.

Well not having a lift point I ended up making a bracket to attach the ground strap to the engine. Access was tight but it works.
