My valve was attached right to the top of the canister, IIRC. I'm not 100% sure on that because I wasn't paying that much attention when I ripped it out and threw it away, but I'm pretty sure that's where it was.

Try autozone's website. They have parts locations with pictures.

I may be mistaken, but i believe that is the one that is up on the firewall. I just took all that stuff off as well so maybe i can go out and see which part it is.

Thats not it, its not that small, And the power hook up is different.

That's the only solenoid like that that I know of with 2 vacuum hoses running to it besides the fuel pressure solenoid. It's not an OEM Mitsubishi part, so no, it's probably not going to look identical to the OEM part. Are you sure you bought the right part?
