Clunking front Noise on EVO X MR

Being the grumpy guy that I am, I was about to get in your face about needing a picture to find the two bolts that connect the STB to the firewall. But, on the off-chance that this wasn't a silly question, I took my own advice from last week and checked my car, first. Ah. Seems it might go from STB to bracket and then from bracket to firewall. Maybe not a silly question, after all.
People who have had success eliminating a front clunk by tightening the STB bolts: are you talking about the two rather-obvious bolts that stare at you when you open the hood, or are you talking about two different and hidden bolts that might, for example, hold the bracket to the firewall and are, therefore, under the heat-shield?

Somebody help. I have a 2010 GSR and I started getting a clunking noise coming from the front end last night leaving work. Ive got ohlins coilovers if that matters, but it just started last night. I think its coming from the drivers side and I can feel it clunking through the floor when it does it. It only does it when the suspension moves it feels like. So that made me think immediately that its something with the suspension but idk for sure. Any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ohlins come with their own plates, correct? If so, then I'd be looking at the STB bolts and then the sway-bar ends and brackets. And while you have the car in the air, yank on the wheels to check the hubs/bearings.
