Question Help Locating BIOS Chip On Alienware X51 R3 Motherboard

[ExaltedOne]

I managed to brick the bios on my alienware X51 R3 and have ordered a CH341A programmer to try and rewrite the bios to the chip on the motherboard but i can't figure out where the chip is on the board and cant find any info on the R3 model anywhere. i did find a guide for the X51 R2 but the motherboard layout is entirely different. does anyone have any experience with this and is able to help me locate the bios chip on the motherboard?

im almost certain its one of these chips but cant be certain which one, i got some information on the one on the right being flash memory but cant find anything on the other
