S55 Crankshaft/Flywheel Locking Pin Location (need help!)

I'm in the middle of doing a crank hub job on my M2 Competition (I'll do a write up once this is all done), and my engine does not have the hole to insert the flywheel locking pin to lock the crank at TDC. I have looked everywhere and every source (none from official service info, though) I find says it should be near the bell housing under/behind the J-pipe. I have found photos and videos of the pin in place. My engine just has blank aluminum in that spot. I have spent about 3 hours poking around my engine, to no avail. Is there another way to time the crank? I am using a friend of a friend's shop, so I really need to get this done and out of his way.
My car is a 2020 with M6 transmission. I am very perplexed there is no hole for the pin. Please let me know if you've heard of this before!

Realized I posted this in the wrong section. I'll post in the maintenance/service section, too.
