C Fund Dividends

Sorry if this has been explained before but I haven't been able to really nail this down and for my own peace of mind maybe someone can point me in the right direction. The dividends that are paid by SP500 companies are reinvested in the fund according to all the things I've seen. The SP500 averages about 2% a year so as this compounds over time the price of the SP500 and the C Fund should have little relation to each other after all these years. Is anyone able to show on a chart or in a report that this yield is actually getting to the share price?

Disregard, I think I finally proved it to myself looking at the SP500 with reinvested dividends yield vs. the TSP C fund's yield. They're about .9% off but that's close enough to confirm it's happening as advertised.
