All these concepts/perceptions exist exclusively as physical processes
inside the brain's volume so they all are 4D objects. Obviously, you
couldn't find a location of "green", but you could certainly find locations
of instances of "green".

I didn't say it, though.
The point is this. Assume you're conscious and know the 4D coordinates of
your brain. Since consciousness cannot exist outside the volume of the brain
and you know where that brain is, then you must also know the location of
where consciousness happens which is exactly where the brain is.
