Default Rodents Wire Damage, Enter to Use TV Camera

Rodents (I think Chipmunks) have eaten through the wire harness that connects to our knock sensors, which causes major mechanical problems. This has happened twice at $500 repair cost each time since the mechanic has to go deep into the engine to repair. This last time I had him wrap all the wires with Honda's Rodent Tape that contains a burning agent if a rodent tries to chew.
I want to monitor these wires as an additional precaution using a Borescope i.e. the small TV camera that allows me to examine the area in the engine.

My question... any idea where I would enter the engine to monitor the harness for any signs of chewing? I am not a mechanic but mechanical in nature. I certainly do not want to dig all the way down to the harness, but I could remove a few things if that's necessary.

PS I have a 2017 Lexus ES350
