They will most probably be taped up if they've never been used before.
They are located in the lower dash so you can put the clocks back in

MY96 did have the plugs i can confirm they will be above the pedals taped up to the loom. Or possibly taped up completely.

As someones already said...put your clocks back as there knowhere near there. A my96 will have them and they should be more or less just beneath the steering column. Some are taped up, maybe even hidden amongst other wires & covered in masking tape but they are there. Becareful whilst looking as you don't want to disturb something and cause yourself more problems. Goodluck
