Can't find the RAM slot, even though manufacturer stated that it has 1 more spare slot

So today I decided to upgrade the RAM for my laptop, but I can't find the spare RAM slot, even though Lenovo stated that this laptop has a spare RAM slot. Any ideas of where it might be,  guys?

My laptop is Lenovo S145-15API

EDIT: actually, looking at more images, your RAM slots are under that big black blotch in the middle.

Possibly under the keyboard. 

So I found it, it's under this black metal block. Should I put the metal block back in place after putting the RAM stick in?

Probably not necessary truthfully, but you can if you want.

i wouldn;t put the black thing back in. it's probably just a placeholder for the RAM slot.

 

also, your laptop looks super strange to me. there's so much wasted space on the inside!
