I can't figure out a place to hook the tube into? It's on right side (+tive side) of the battery, there a pipe thing which supposedly gets hooked into somewhere on the battery, i can't find the place to hook it on battery..

If it's a replacement battery, it may not have the vent tube connection at all, or it may not be in the same location as in the OEM battery.
