Default Charcoal canister location

Hi, just wondering if anyone knows where the Charcoal canister is located on a 2007 Lexus RX350?
As far as I can tell, it is above the fuel tank, am I correct?
I am getting a P0455 and P0441 error code and would like to check out the fittings that go the canister but have trouble locating it.
If it is above the fuel tank, do I have to drop the exhaust pipes, fuel tank to get to it?

It’s above the middle muffler on the passenger side rear. You need to drop the muffler to change it. It wasn’t too hard to change, just tedious.

I assume you need to drop the tow hitch as well?

I don't have a tow hitch on my RX350, but you could probably slide it out towards the front of the car still.

I need to make a new heat shield. Does anyone know the size or dimension for the heat shield? I don't want to spend $$$ for a thin piece of aluminum from Lexus.
