Where is the rear lift gate motor?

[Trip CX90]

I’m curious where the rear liftgate motor is. I’ve looked around the opening. I’ve even looked at parts diagrams. I can’t seem to find it. Usually, there’s an obvious hump in the rear roof or a little arm that gives it away. Is the motor somehow concealed in one of the tubes for what I’m assuming are the gas struts?

They are in the gas strut tubes!
