I have tried and asked a service advisor. (He said "against the control aren.") But it is hard to tell for this car.

^ He probably means at the junction of the control arm and the shock/air spring assembly. There's usually a solid area there that will easily hold the weight of the car.

Looked through all of the erWin guides this morning and this is the only reference:
The only additional information was a diagram showing the lifting points.
Fat lot of help that is- they must figure it will always go on a hoist at the dealership...
• Place jack stands only at locations specified by manufacturer.
The vehicle lifting jack supplied with the vehicle is intended for tire changes only.
Use a heavy duty floor jack to lift the vehicle before installing jack stands.

i took a peek of the underside of the car. It it difficult to make out what to do; most of it is covered up.
I will visit the dealer and see what I can learn. I always place a jack stand, in addition to the jack provided by the mfr, under the car when I need to change tires.

Don't know if this helps. Take a look under the car, it may be the same.

Thanks. But I am looking to placing a jack stand other than or in additional to the jack supplied by Audi which fits into the plastic cylinder cups.
