Default A/C drain 2012xc70

My rear o/s rear footwell has damp carpets and I think it might be related to using the A/C so, possibly a blocked drain channel.
Where is the a/c drain channel located on a RHD car.? I've seen a YouTube video showing the removable panel to access it on a LHD car , which is in the front passenger footwell, and it looks pretty simple but before I start removing delicate plastic panels, I'd like to find it's exact location.
Thanks in advance

It'll just be on the opposite side to the video you've seen in the LHD video.

Go to the passenger side front of your car, underneath the glovebox, remove the plastic trim that's at your right leg as you sit in the car and it'll be there. The cabin filter is also located around that area. Might be an idea to inspect that too whilst you're in there and replaced it if dirty.

FYI:
In those videos and threads, heat shielding which can be bent against the drain hose is also mentioned.

I've been doing "P3 Research".
