Default 2009 Malibu unknown connector HELP

Hello! I have a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu, 2.4 four-cylinder with a six speed auto transmission. I recently rebuild the engine, and have it dropped back in and 99% of the way hooked back up HOWEVER there is one electrical connector left, that I cannot figure out where it goes to save my life. I will attach a few photos of the connector from above, from below, as well as what pulls up when I search the part number online. Any advice or opinion would be greatly appreciated!

additional information, it appears to be ran with the main wiring harness, coming from the right side of the engine bay.

If you hold the connector up, it looks like it could reach the throttle body, the starter, or the fans on the opposite side, however, I have made sure all of those connectors to all of those parts are already plugged in

thanks for the input!!! Believe it or not, I JUST figured it out…. It was actually the crankshaft position sensor connector that goes behind the starter, which is why I could not see it, since I had already put the starter back on. Thanks again!
