Our CE got back to me.
He said "You can use any screw or unused threaded hole in the frame as
ground. The frame paint is all conductive. "

Now I am wondering if those screws that hold on that little vent cover on
the top towards the back which everyone removes to run cables are
acceptable or if you need to ground it to more beefier metal.
