Default oil dipstick

Did an egngine swap in my 1998 s10 Blazer and the engine is already back in the car without the oil dipstick.

Im trying to get my oil dipstick back into that little hole at the bottom.
Very tight with the exhaust headers, spark plug wire holder, and other things.

So the oil dipstick goes outside the header on the passenger side?
Or does it go between the header and the engine?
It seems to keep hitting the spark plug wire holder so I bent that piece to crap to get it out of the way, but still not sure how it goes.
I dropped it in between the 4th and 6th cylinder between the engine and header but its not in the hole yet, if anyone knows thanks.

thank you so much, so its between 2 and 4 cylinders, between the engine and exhaust, and tucked behind spark plug four,

this is going to be tough but this helps a ton
