The hole that the wire comes up in to the luggage compartment is on the left side. It is directly rearward of that "tab" on the floor that mounts the body. A small amount of body putty sealed this hole / conduit.
The wire (within a conduit) was then run behind the cardboard panel - forward until very near the left trunk lid hinge. The wire from your license plate lamp terminates in that general area as well. Both wires are connected with a rubber encased butt connector, typical of the others on your car.
The tail lamp wiring stays beneath the car. It runs along the left frame rail all the way back to the very rear cross member. If your car is a deluxe model, the crossover wire harness to the right lamp is run on the inside - lower edge of that member and is attached in two places.
