T don't really know if it helps but on my 2.5 V6 there is also a "spare" connector that does not connect into anything!   Just a spare for an accessory mine does not enjoy! ::) ::) ;) ;)

Knock sensor is located on number 2 pot below the inlet manifold.

The loom connector is on the underside of the plastic tray that sits on top of the injectors between number 3 and 4 injector plug.

For the second time have cleared my cache but your avator, unlike most, is elongated like mine was until it was resized. ;)

Plug is at the back of the engine floating around behind the accelerator cable/ throttle body area.  Knock sensor itself is on the engine below the inlet manifold as stated by mark.  You can see it if you remove the alternator and it will be hiding behind the water pipe.
