Default Where I should mount the VSA Motion Sensor

Hi, there
I got a question about my Honda Civic Senda 2009
The car had an accident before was fixed and drives well. After I opened the transmission stick hood and did something I don’t remember. The car started having some wired symptoms.
When the vehicle turn on corner I feel driving unstable and vibration noise from breaks and wheels. I found it was caused by VSA malfunction. When I turn the vehicle to one direction the VSA put break on opposite side of the wheel which suppose to same side wheels to help turning.
I opened the driving shift hood. Found that the motion sensor is just hung there freely. After I turned around the sensor everything was back to normal. So It's the sensor somehow was put into wrong direction to cause that problem. And the sensor could easily be misplaced by any force because it was just hung there free.
there were two holes on both side of the sensor which looks like was mounted somewhere before. I couldn’t found anywhere I can mount under that hood. So I need information for where I should mount on this sensor.

thank you

It's Acceleration sensor. I called Honda they let me went to the closet Honda dealer.
They never heard of this before but found some information from Honda website. it doesn’t tell the exactly location just under shift stick cover being mounted on floor through a bracket. But we couldn't find the bracket neither the two screw holes used to mount the bracket. This car had accident before I bought it. Could make the bracket missing. But it’s hard to believe that those two screw holes are missing. Make me think the sensor was originally unmounted and could be the reason for the accident. I will put some picture here.
It would be appreciated if you send me Honda manual for civic 2009
thank you
