On the left flap, upper right hand corner. From inside edge to a rivet. About 3/4” long.

Need your photo - how long has it been there? Possibly sounds like stop drill and watch.

I’ve tried resizing my photo multiple times and I’m still getting an error saying the image is too large. Any tips?

Size limit is about 450kB. You can try cropping the picture first, but leave enough "context" so we can tell where on the flap the picture is.

I'm sending you a PM.
