Parking sensor location

All of a sudden I am getting false reading warnings from the front left sensor.
I thought there may debris obstructing the sensor but to my surprise the front bumper does not have the round sensors found in the rear bumper. So the question is where are those darn sensors on a 2019 MDX Hybrid?
What could be causing this behavior as it is super annoying to hear the beep when there is no reason for it.

The 4 round front sensors are located in the lower part of the front bumper (just inside of the fog light locations and either side of lower grill opening). Any chance of frozen water or left over dirt when water melted is stuck in the sensor? I don't know how to check or clean a front sensor. It should be covered by the warranty if it is a bad sensor. You might have to turn off the front sensors until your next service.

Could the sensor be damaged? Hit by road debris maybe?

Thanks. I did not hit anything so will need to take a closer look.
