Although the bracket on the wiring harness doubles as a Ground point and goes to the longer Upper bolt on the starter(engine and trans through bolt) It sits on the engine side.
I personally don't like that and try to get a good ground point to the starter without going through all the mounted metal.
If you really want to give the starter a good Ground then just run another Ground Up to the Negative.
I put a ground wire on at the trans to the chassis.The car has a small ground at the wiper motor area that does that But I add a thicker one and attach it on one of the trans bolts.
