I'm trying to learn all of my sounds properly so I figure the more examples of sounds I find the better so I found this neat interactive chart.

http://web.uvic.ca/ling/resources/ipa/charts/IPAlab/IPAlab.htm

but I'm having trouble matching it with the sound chart in the guide.  In particular I can't figure out where the liquids are.

Any thoughts?

The Na'vi l is the dental (perhaps alveolar) lateral approximant.  The Na'vi r is the alveolar flap, and rr the alveolar trill.

The ejectives are non-pulmonic variants of simple pulmonic consonants, so the "non-pulmonic" chart — just under the consonants, to the left — gives the notation for the ejectives.
