They are at the corners. If you have your sunroof open and look closely you should see the holes. I used a hose and ran some water out the back drains. The front drains will drain down near the bottom of the front pillars. The back drains will drain out from behind the trim piece behind the rear windows.

I believe this is correct from what I remember when I cleared my drains.

Have you checked anything else as the source of the water yet? The sunroof drains are not usually the cause of water there. Any water leaking in through the front or rear windshields as well as the firewall can end up in the rear floorwells. Common spots for leaks are the front windshield seal, especially when the old seal has been used after windshield replacement, and a hole in the firewall behind the battery that was created by battery acid.
