Why is the VIN# not under the hood anywhere stamped on any part of engine?

On my '18 the VIN is clearly stamped on the passenger frame rail next to the air box. Of all the cars I've owned, I've never seen an engine labelled with a VIN.

Ok will check again where's the air box again? Not an issue but was trying to look for paint code for touch up and realized can't see the VIN anywhere , found the paint code in the driver side door jam

VIN is located on the dash under the windshield, in the drivers side door jamb and on the pass side apron in the engine bay, next to the airbox

You didn't get the optional window VIN etching?
