Look above the oil cap in this video at 24:37. There are two connectors and it will be the one closest to the middle of the engine (the exposed area of the actuator is white in the video). Bank 2 is the head closest to the front.

I think this video is just the naturally aspirated 3.5, not the turbo. Mine looks like this (much more going on). I only have one connector, shown closer in the 2nd pic. Is this it, or is it somewhere else? Couldn't find anything else that resembles it.

Bank 2 is the same head on the GTDI engine (sport) as the Ti-VCT one (NA)

Welcome to the Forum.
FYI, the member AXCL was last seen here on September 9, 2019, so I doubt you will get a reply from him.
Perhaps others will be able to help. In the meantime, I did a forum search and found 2 other threads on the issue but they are not much help as no clear resolutions were posted.
2014 Explorer Sport power loss
My explorer threw a p0020 code at me the other day and has been acting weird up to this point, very rough cold starts, stuttering power loss while driving, Jerky shifting. Anyways I replaced my vvt solenoid in bank 2 as well as my camshaft position sensor and my engine light went off and it ran...
