Temperature sensor question

Hey I did a quick search and couldn't find anything, so I figured I'd just post real quick and hopefully get a quick and easy answer. I took off the nose of my car to install RB screens and an AEM cai. I can't remember where the temperature sensor mounted to. I have this long wire dangling right now, and just putting it inside the bumper makes my dash say it's 110 degrees out when it's really 80. I know it clips somewhere..

That's where it goes, out side the engine bay and in the bumper area.

Do you know where it clips onto? The bumper itself maybe? Right now it's just sitting in there. Thanks for the affirmation though. At least I got that part right..

It clicks into a hole on the bottom of the drivers-side of the bumper support core.
Looking in through the mouth, it is in the upper right hand corner with the wire to the rad and the probe to the air.

I clamped mine to the intercooler.
