Default Blower fan location?

The air in my car smells like straight mold. I've done the Lysol trick and even had Lexus do they're AC refresh. Still nothing. A buddy of mine told me to check the blower fan to see if anything is in there causing the smell.
Wheres it at? Thanks!

It's behind the glovebox. You can access it by removing a hatch at the back of the glovebox, followed by pulling the cabin air filter housing out.

I've done that too, twice. I have no clue what it is and neither does Lexus. A friend of mine thinks maybe something is stuck in the blower fan causing the smell
