Sometime when I'm paying with the phone at some old POS the connection between the phone and POS is poor and have to retry a second time for a better connection to initiate and complete the payment process.

I'm trying to figure out where the NFC coil is situated to place the phone with the NFC antenna directly to the POS reading area.
I was looking on different disassembly videos for Xiaomi 12, but I don't have a confirmation yet to my guessing. I'm guessing the NFC coil is on the same spot where the wireless battery coil is placed, beneath the wireless charging coil.

Is any of you disassembled the phone and identified where the NFC coil is placed? In what part of the phone (bottom, middle or top)?

The attached image is from a disassembly video:
