Default .1 Diff Oil Fill Plug Location

I'm finishing up a PDK clutch fluid change, but would also like to change the trans/diff fluid while I'm under the car. The workshop manual that I have has been spot on for the clutch fluid change, but the diff section appears to be slightly different than the manual. Mine has a hose running into a fitting at the location that the manual shows as the fill plug, and I'm hesitant to pull it. Can anyone who has changed their diff fluid confirm where the fill plug is? The picture below shows the hose running into the fitting where the manual shows it. Appreciate the help.

I don't know the answer, but maybe you're meant to remove that banjo bolt assembly and fill there?

Yeah, that's exactly where the manual shows, it just doesn't show the hose on the banjo going into it. That's probably the right answer, just want to make sure.

I used the banjo bolt when I do a fluid change. Don't forget there are 2 drain plugs, one for the trans, and one for the diff.
Also it takes a second for the fluid to go in, so don't pump too fast, or it will be all over the floor.
