knock sensor placement

I'm installing an aftermarket knock sensor (stock GM one) because I threw my stock one away a while ago (because I'm dumb)...

the knock sensor looks like this: http://www.viatrack.ca/Knock/261-231-001.jpg

and the hole in the middle isn't big enough to bolt into the stock location. currently I have it bolted to where the EGR valve would be on an S4 (I have an S5 TII). Is this fine? will it still detect the knocks ok?

thanks

I just searched for a while and learned that the S4 sensor is on the center iron below the oil filler neck, it's possible that I might be able to mount it here. does anyone have a picture of where exactly it's mounted so I can see if I have that hole on my S5?
