The cam chain is basically an upsidedown triangle. The tensioner is on the bottom left side.

Tensioners look like this. I don't really see it in your pic, but here it is.

Remove the front upper timing cover, and you will see it.

Here, look up in the top left of the picture, above the upper timing chain, which is also your cam connecting chain. There you will see it, (upper timing chain tensioner). Good luck...

In the picture, the tensioner is near the left side about halfway down, right behind the timing chain, you can see a little metal edge of it as circled in the picture.
