Same place as with the original jack. On my 2004 Elantra the jack points
are just behind the front wheels, under the driver's door, and just in
front of the back wheels, under the passengers door.

That is true, but the flat plate will lift the car right on the seam. When
you try it you'll see that it actually feels more secure than the original
jack. And the plate is not truly flat, it does have "teeth" around the it
to keep the lift location from falling off.

If you're using a floor jack, jack the car up at the ends, not the
sides. Use the pad behind the center tow hook at either end of he
vehicle. Be sure to use jack stands to support the car after you jack it
up. FWIW, I never jack up a car on the side, except in roadside emergencies.
