Camshaft Position Sensor V6 Location?

Hi guys, I just had an engine light appear on my dash and after I ran the codes at the Chevy dealership it came back to a camshaft position sensor. (OEM Part #12646782) It's only a $35 sensor and I would like to fix it myself instead of getting ripped off at the dealership especially since I am out of warranty, however, I have no clue where the part is located on the engine. If anyone can help or if someone has a picture that would be even better. Thanks guys!

Yes, there are 2 located on the back left and right side of the engine. Was really easy to replace. One is located in the red circle, that should help give you a ballpark on the location. The sensor looks like the one down below.

This is the first response I've seen where someone says they are located in the back. A few videos and posts say they are located in the front. Camshaft and crankshaft sensors. They've recommended replacing all four. Just like to clear things up, because I'm having a P0020 code. I would really like to know the exact location and part number. Any further input would be great.

Here's a video that I believe shows the location of all four sensors for VVT.

I think your picture is of a V8 engine. Not the V6 LGX. I could be wrong. I'm currently trying to find exact location and part number.
