Using Jack Stand...where to contact point?

it's the black cross beam.
dont put your jack under your oil pan and lift.

when you place your jackstands on the side rails make sure you have an adapter like a hocky puck with slit or piece of wood with a slit so that you dont put the weight of the car on the rail itself. there's a little hump behind there where the weight goes onto.

Crap, I can't identify the black cross beam. Is there a picture anywhere to steer me in the right direction? I have searched for quite a while with no luck.

With the rail do you mean the point where the two notches are? If so I agree. But when I looked behind that area ( the rail with two notches ) it was very narrow for the jackstand to rest on.
