Where to put this ground wire

Noticed this ground was torn. Rad support is rotten assumed thats where it went.

can I just find a hole on body and put a new strap to it with nut and bolt? Or does it have to be more specific/strategically placed?

I would do the best you can to get it back on the radiator support. It's for radio noise prevention, so it's not super critical.

while it technically does that it’s the primary purpose of radio noise and galvanic corrosion protection
