Thin wire that will bend easily and bend the tip slightly so that when you hit the one curve it will be prone to turn that corner. Snake it in pushing it in towards the drivers side. I have never tried it before. Just an idea.

You could also tie a string to a bolt and then use one of those grabber tools to go inside the hole and drop the bolt when you think it is above the turn down.

piece of string with a nut tied to it, use a magnet with a microfiber to keep from scratching the paint, when you get to the corner pull the magnet, gravity drops the nut to the bottom
worked for me

Cheap electrical fish tape works.
I have found lots of uses for it.
For instance, wiring trailers. Works excellently to get the wires through the square tubing frames.
$29 for a 50-footer on Amazon
