Trying to find the body/chassis code for my SE AWC

So, I've tried looking online, decoding my VIN, and even in the door panel where this badge is apparently supposed to be, and so far I've got diddly. Just trying to find the chassis code (ex: CY4A) for my 2015 SE so I know whatever suspension/chassis parts I buy will fit. Below is the picture of the badge in the door panel, the only other sticker is for tire information and nothing related to the body is on it. Any help would be appreciated

Actually just tried that and got these results:

MFR Model Code
LN41-E

Body Type
4dr Car

Pass Doors 4

Alternative Name
CVT SE AWD

Alternative Body
4dr Car

Drivetrain
Four Wheel Drive

The rest of the info is about the same level of helpfulness. Is there maybe somewhere else I should look on the car? Would this info be in the engine bay somewhere?

Found it

Replying to close thread and hopefully help out anyone in the future with this stupid issue:

Mitsubishi and a vast multitude of online source will tell you to look in the drivers' side door at the VIN badge. Instead, the chassis code (or body code, body model code, or chassis identifier) is located on a plate held by two rivets in the passenger side, low on the center column. Attached is a picture of my plate for reference (My body code is CY5A):
