Default 07 A8 Fuel Pump Relay and Fuse Locations not where manual shows. Any ideas?

2007 A8L...The car shuts off after a few seconds. Looking for the fuel pump (right side) relay and fuse. The manual shows a relay right above the battery in the trunk (checked this one and it is OK, but assuming this is for the left side fuel pump. The manual also shows a relay on the passenger side footwell on the A pillar. This car doesn't have that relay box in that location. Removed the glove box and A pillar trim and it is not there. The fuse that is supposed to be in the Right Side of Dash fuse panel is not there either. The fuse box has an empty slot where the manual shows the fuse belongs.

Any help will be appreciated.

Default Found it and problems escalated

The relay carrier was indeed under the carpet on the passenger side. Tested the relay and it was OK. Now, after taking out each fuse and re-installing all of the fuses on both sides of the dash, the car will not start at all, even when I run the right fuel pump with a jumper wire. The VAG now can't read the engine at all. Disconnected the battery for now.

After touching both battery cables together, the VAG started reading the computer. Found out the Fuel pump relay J17, above the battery in the luggage compartment, was bad. Replaced it with a generic one and it worked. So far......
