its at the base of the shifter, its a little round thing with wires going into it, you have to remove the shifter surround to get to it. I tried fixing it once but it didnt stay fixed for long just get another one much easier

If its the same as my VPs one, its a green circle thing, about 60mm Diamiter, and about 10-20mm thick (high). Also has 2 triangle points coming off it (i like to call these the arms) which is how you line it up (or what the shifter grabs onto to engage or cutout the safety)

If might just be loose, and a matter of fixing how it mounts (can't remember how it should mount, been ages since i saw one in the correct position.)
