Trying to Sync CardBook with Google

I have installed CardBook on TB v78.7.1. I found setup instructions on another website that start out with "Click the CardBook icon". I have no idea where that icon is. I have looked in several places and I am unable to match those instructions to real life.

So what I hope to find here is help with setting up CardBook on TB v78 which is running on Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon desktop, to sync with my Google Contacts.

Chosen solution

If CardBook is enabled, right-click the Mail Toolbar, Customize..., and drag the CardBook icon onto the toolbar. Or, Tools/CardBook on the Menu Bar. Then, click the 3-bar icon at the upper left on the CardBook tab, Address Book, New Address Book, Remote, Google, enter your gmail address....
