Default Where are the brake wear indicators located on a 2006 Acura RSX?

I have a 2006 Acura RSX (base) and the wear indicators keep making a screeching sound... I have ordered a Brembo kit and it is on its way from california.. So the indicators have done their job and I want to bend them back away from the rotor to stop the sound; however, I cant find them... Does anyone know where they are at or have a picture of where they are located... Please help me the sound is the most annoying thing ever!

They are embedded in the brake pad material.

they are part of the pad itself. It is commonly called a "tattletale". Usually they are to the sides of the pads and look like small wings that touch your rotor. Although some newer pads have them integrated into the pad itself.
