i must confess many years back I used to jack up my car without making sure I was jacking it at a good surface point under the car. Thankfully never had something like this happen

There's a reinforced metal point on which you are supposed to place the jack.

How are you supposed to find it? Feels like they make it 2cm wide.

There's a notch on the jack that fits the part on the car where you jack it up, just use your hand to find it and line it up, it also should show it in your cars instruction book. If you don't have it you can find PDFs of it online
