Default Lifting a 2005 vdp

My mechanics garage has a hoist that has four figures that lift from the sills. I see where the lift jack points are, do the fingers have to be very close or is just close ok?

Many thanks for this...

with a rack use the pinch welds they have arrows pointing where you need to go.

with a floor jack you need to use the front frame rails next to the cat. rears you just sort of use the aluminum subframe sandwich point
