Here’s the [https://topics-cdn.dell.com/pdf/inspiron-11-3162-laptop_service-manual_en-us.pdf|owner manual] for the laptop, taken from this [https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-hr/product-support/product/inspiron-11-3162-laptop/docs|webpage].
Go to p.43 to view the necessary steps and then the procedure to remove/replace the WLAN (WiFi) card. This shows where the two antenna cables are connected to the card.
Go to p.54 to view the necessary pre-requisite steps and then the procedure to remove/replace the display assembly. This shows how the antenna cables route through the bottom case and the right hinge to get to the lid. Unfortunately the manual doesn’t show how they are routed through the lid but here’s an image taken from an Inspiron 3162 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qR5S_XkQTXk|screen replacement video] which shows where the antennas are positioned in the lid. (It is the same for a Inspiron 3164)
