Mantas on bridge

This is our 4th time to Conrad Rangali. Every evening we go looking for mantas on the bridge (anytime between 8:30-9:30pm). I’d estimate we’ve looked on 20 different evenings and never seen one. Every morning we hear of people having seen mantas from the bridge.
can someone please tell me where about on the bridge they are generally seen? Closer to the rangali bar side, closer to the middle where the seaplane lands or closer to the Vilu side.
trying to break my loosing streak this trip.

ps arrived yesterday for 8 days if anyone wants any info.
A few notes early on:
  • resort continues to be absolutely breathtaking
  • service at afternoon drinks at Vilu was exceptional. Wine quality less than desirable
  • sunset grill on point last light as was UFAA tonight (great food and great service)
  • children were charged for breakfast for the first time since we’ve been coming here (1st time since 2017, and whilst they are above 12, they were the last time as well)
  • F&B incrementally more expensive than our last trip in 2022
  • Kids are doing their dive certification and staff have been exceptional
  • More windy today then I’ve ever remembered
  • snorkelling on house reef is still great even with high winds and surge/current
  • Amazing to see so many familiar faces. Conrad clearly takes very good care of their staff.
