Good battery, no crank.

3rd gen, manual transmission, base model so no starter button or anything.
The car has basically ran flawlessly since we got it in 2016, yesterday my son drove it for about an hour and then let it sit for an hour, went out to start, and there was no cranking, no click, no signs of low battery. We went ahead and bump started it to get it home so the rest of the engine is coming on and working fine. I'm guessing a starter relay or possibly some fuse? My problem is when I look at the fuse box I can't see anything to tell me where the starter relay is. I've gone through fitfreak and couldn't get much headway there either. I've added three pictures. One of the main fuse box, then the auxiliary fuse box, then the battery positive connections. Could anybody help me for where to start and where to go?

Figured it out

Apparently there are two clutch position sensors. The one up and behind the visible one is the one that disengages the starter. There is a little plastic tab that broke off, preventing that switch from working.

Look up the fuse box relays on a Honda parts site. One of them should be labeled as the starter relay in the parts list. I think it's the white one?
