What's the place of articulation for a non-syllabic (approximant)

Another way to describe it would be a lax version of the labial-
palatal approximant.
I ask this, because Acadian French has this phoneme contrasting with
the tense labial-palatal approximant, and I want to use a symbol and
know how to call the place of articulation.
Would you give an example of a pair of words where they contrast?

ɥ = Voiced labialized palatal approximant
So I guess you'll have to give two places of articulation: palate and
lips.

Good that you mention "lax version", and I totally agree with it. I
personally describe a semi-vowel that way, but I don't know who else
does. Could you give me some reference on the usage of this term for
semi-vowels? Thanks.
(Vietnamese has a few sets of diphthongs VG vs GV contrasted by what's
lax and what's tense.)
