Default rattle noise

I have a 2005 ultra and I have a ratling noise coming from what sounds like the right side of motor by the pipes or behind the cover the clutch cable goes into. I have replaced all of the heat shield clamps and it still has the rattle. has the sound of what a loose washer would sound like. anyway I can't seem to isolate the noise. has anyone ever had this rattle in the same area and if so, what was causin it? I have listened on my hands and knees and I can't isolate it.

I had a similar rattling on my 2006 Sporty... checked exhaust, all good. eventually, I tapped the timing cover.. well, it rattled.. tightened it down and all was good.
