I see two different drain plugs, is the oil drain plug on the left side, or the one in the middle of the car? I would think it is the plug on the same side as the oil filter, correct????

for what year?but it's the one closer to the passenger side, on the engine.. not the transmission. The transmission pan is flat on the bottom. Then engine pan is black.

from memory, it should be in the middle. right inline with the filter.

Yes its the plug nearest the passenger side. Your oil pan is shaped like a T. the oil plug has a 14mm head.
