\label{fig:Candid5_pos_pos}: Plane of the sky map integrated between 35-55 km/s, the approximate velocity range of the Scutum-Centaurus arm in the region around Filament 5. BC\_18.88-0.09.  A trace of Filament 5, BC\_18.88-0.09,  as it would appear as a mid-IR extinction feature, is superimposed on the CO emission map. We mark the location of the physical Galactic midplane with the dashed line, as well as $\pm$ 20 pc from that plane using the solid lines. The correlation between Filament 5's BC\_18.88-0.09's  mid-IR extinction feature and Scutum's most intense CO emission hints that Filament 5 BC\_18.88-0.09  may be a spine of Scutum as traced by lower density CO gas
