I think it would be below the pilot lighting hole. Not sure! Think it has a fine screen over it.
Another thing on the pilot light being low, There should be a very small orifice in the end of the pilot tube. It is very small and could be impossible to find replacement if you drop it. Take Pilot tube loose from valve, it should be there. Soak it in alcohol, and blow out. Hole could be so small that you may not even see one. Debris could be blocking gas flow.
The outside in and out area is clean, so nothing to do there.
Inside, I did not take it all apart but I did get the little brass tubing off that goes from the control box by the red knob up to the pilot flame inside the big cylinder.
I did not find any orifice piece in those but cleaned them out. Seemed ok anyway. With the brass tubing removed, I pressed in the red knob and there was hissing. Let go, hissing stops. Could not smell propane with the hissing but might have missed that
I see there are some screws behind the red knob that looks like you could take that all out from the control box. I undid the screw that holds the knob on but couldn't pry it off. Need to get the knob off to get at those little screws, if I ever do that.
Some lubricant made the red knob a little better for turning and also for pushing in and out.
Got it all back together but now of course it is being a nuisance with the mineral spirits and cleaner spray not dry I guess. I did get it going but now when the main burner comes on it sort of explodes and knocks out the pilot flame. I expect it will all settle down later as it dries out.
