Yes you are looking at the right spot but you need to look side on, not from under neath.
From side on you will see quite clearly the females have a small half bubble whilst the males have a Needle at a 45 angle

Don't let all the "EX spirts !" confuse you emiee. You are looking in the right spot.   Two females and a male in your pics. Not a bad ratio. So fatten them up and put them in with some "Blue" africans.
