Default Where is the valve lift solenoid in a 981?

Anyone has a location of the Bank 1 valve lift solenoid position? Is it the one that goes straight down into the head from the valve cover between spark plugs 1 and 2?

If that is the one, is it necessary to remove the cam cover to replace the solenoid or is it just 2 bolts and pull straight out?

To close this off. While it may not be required to remove the header-cat converter, the removal of said header adds 20 minutes to the job but makes it immensely accessible. You might spend 30 minutes hassling with the connector of the sensor and the itty bit of access. Doing both sides took 3 hours.
