Question Ground strap fell of but from where?

While i was servicing the truck i found a ground strap that is broken of.
It is bolted to the back of the engine on the drivers side with one end, but i dont know where the other end connects to.
I found the broken end just above the exhaust headers towards the firewall and i can route it as far as the distributor.
It is a flat 5mm (0.2 inch) wide black insulated conductor.
The truck is a '97 Ram 1500 4x4, 5.9 with auto trans.
Anyone knows where it connects to?

Ground straps from the firewall just under the harness screw into the back side of each head
