No, that is the wrong spot the correct spot is on the two posts sticking down just to the left of the location marked in your picture

Not between the posts... ON them

Your floor jack should be lifting them, not between them



The floor jack touches/lifts them, not any other part of the differential assembly (hench that is why they are flat and parrallel to the ground)
