Looking for info on HW4 radar

Am trying to find an image of where exactly the front radar sensor is located on a 2023 Model X. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Had read some conflicting reports about non OSS equipped 23 Model X's, but the more I read the more it appears that they do still indeed have front radar sensors and do not rely exclusively on cameras.

With that being said, I am making some modification to the front of my X and are looking for feedback from someone who is very familiar with the radar sensor. I am adding some metal plating across the front of the bumper and am trying to determine the following:

#1. How far physically below the lowest point of the radar sensor do I have to be to not create an obstruction that would affect the sensor?

#2. Can I modify the bracket and raise the radar sensors position approximately 2-3'' higher inside of the bumper without creating any calibration or function problems?

#3. Can the radar sensor be relocated left or right without creating any calibration or function problems?

#4. If I do indeed relocate the sensor and raise it within the bumper, is it possible to do a recalibration so the car will learn the new location of the sensor and function properly?

Thanks!
