Need help with some environmental puzzles (Jungle + Town obelisks)
I would like to finish the game without spoilers.
So I would like to get just some general tips about how to find these puzzles.
I spent 3 hours trying to find the last jungle environmental puzzle without success.

I tried to use the "triangle" shape as a guide, but that didn't helped me at all.

I also couldn't find that one, on the town obelisk:

This particular one makes me concerned, because I don't know if it is tied to some movie I still need to unlock (I have 2 left to unlock. I assume one is on shipwreck and the other is on challenge puzzles).

Hints:

First one: There's no trick to it, it's just among the others you've already done in the jungle trees. You'd find it eventually, but if you don't want to spend another 3 hours searching, the solution is here: https://www.ign.com/wikis/the-witness/Monastery_Obelisk

Second one: You can't do that one yet.

My god. I can't find it.
I'm so close finishing the game without seeing solutions that I think I will regret immensely if I do.
Can you tell me hints like if I should be looking up or down?
If it is in front or behind the bird puzzle barrier?
What color is it?
Thank you so much for your help.

The green start point is within sight of a zen gate.

Found it. But I kinda saw a bit of the walkthrough.
The real problem was:
This puzzle is kind of miscategorized in the obelisk. It should be in the same group of other puzzles I already solved before. I was trying to find something completely different and that's why I would never find it by myself.
But I appreciate your help a lot!

It's not grouped with the others because the face of the obelisk indicates the specific direction.

I know.
But the green start point is in the same place where the other puzzle group is located.
I understand why the developers made this decision, but it kinda of confused me a bit.
