Cant find box d
Like AndreaC1 mentioned in this post, a Control Number (box D) is used by many payroll departments to identify a W-2 in their system. If your W-2 doesn't have one, it's ok to leave it blank.
Please refer to the article below.

I can not leave the field blank. Leaving the field blank results in an error.
A value is required
W2 box d Control # is on the left side under the Employer name and address and right above the Employee name.

The control number in box d is not required by the IRS - it is used by your employer. As a result, if it causing you trouble, just delete it. If it is not causing you trouble, then leave it in - it won't matter.
