When you look up your php-fpm.conf

example location:
cat /usr/src/php/sapi/fpm/php-fpm.conf

you will see, that you need to configure the PHP FastCGI Process Manager to actually use Unix sockets. Per default, the listen directive` is set up to listen on a TCP socket on one port. If there's no Unix socket defined, you won't find a Unix socket file.

; The address on which to accept FastCGI requests.
; Valid syntaxes are:
;   'ip.add.re.ss:port'    - to listen on a TCP socket to a specific IPv4 address on
;                            a specific port;
;   '[ip:6:addr:ess]:port' - to listen on a TCP socket to a specific IPv6 address on
;                            a specific port;
;   'port'                 - to listen on a TCP socket to all IPv4 addresses on a
;                            specific port;
;   '[::]:port'            - to listen on a TCP socket to all addresses
;                            (IPv6 and IPv4-mapped) on a specific port;
;   '/path/to/unix/socket' - to listen on a unix socket.
; Note: This value is mandatory.
