It's on the side of the head. The one with  brown on black wires to the plug (on my pic, it may be different on yours)

Did you get a genuine CTS? Or is it from GSF or the likes?

Got it from unipart it's basically a car sales places everythings trade prices only paid £12 for it thought that was quite reasonable

You would have been better off going to VW for it. I bought mine from VW about 6 months ago for £24, but because it's VW I know it'll last a long time, I've had problems with cheap parts in the past.
