Lmao this is a long shot, but are any GeoGuessr champs able to help me with a dumb problem

FedEx delivered an important package to the wrong address somewhere in my ZIP code and refuses to help me

All I’ve got is this photo and the knowledge that it’s somewhere in 91790
Photo of a white package under the black metal railing of some concrete steps in front of a house with white walls, a white metal screen door, and a white front door.
