Does anyone know where the air adjuster is located for the rear shock, manual says under the passenger seat but I can not find the valve stem anywhere

The cap over the valve is a shiny flat topped thing and doesn't look at all like a tire valve cap.

I put 30 lbs. in my rear shock, I noticed it bottoming out on the last ride. I checked it and there was no air in it. Shouldn't it hold the air??
Or is this a defect on my 2016 F3-T.

It should hold air.
It could be just a leaky schraeder valve.
Air it up then do the spit test to check for bubbles.
If they are present use a valve stem tool to tighten up the core.

There are other places for a leak, but that's a good place to start.
