Lift Point Placement for Scissor lift help!!

[NickW21]

I've borrowed a scissor lift from a friend to lift up my '79 911 SC to do some work on the oil/brake lines. I can find some good points on the front of the car, but the rear is giving me trouble. I found a couple spots in the rear that worked for a couple days, but after sitting up there for that time, I noticed the sway bar and control arms were resting against the lift. Thinking this is likely not a good thing, I took the car down and cannot find a good alternative. I've attached some pics for reference. Any help is appreciated.
The first two pics are when the car was up on the lift. The next two are of when the car is on the ground showing the area I have to work with underneath the car...

911SC Jack Points - Miassing?

Just something of note based on your photo. The heaviest part of the car should be directly over the hydraulic rams & locking mechanism for safety reasons.

Old photo of mine. Rubber blocks are on the yellow arms.
Lifting on rear body seam and front body seam.

There is a bullseye on the lift deck
seen here on mine but also seen in the op's pic


You want that bullseye close to the CoM which is roughly, marked by the side lift point, covered w/ the black plastic plug

I use a hockey puck on top of my lift pad just under the torsion bar. There is a flat spot there, and it is very solid as it is part of the suspension mount. It is a little tricky to position it just right, but the hockey puck makes it easier.

Thanks everyone! Hockey puck seems like the best option for me. Off to the local sporting goods store today!!

I also noticed that I need to either back in the car or turn around the lift as mentioned. Should have mentioned that I was going to do that next time I lift the car

concrete being somewhat frangible, I'd also recommend some metal pales under the contact points w/ the floor
