Exclamation Thermostat housing sensors 2006 4.0 V6

Are the 2 sensors on the thermostat housing the same or are they different parts? I replaced my leaking thermostat housing with a kit that included 2 new sensors. I didn't keep track of which sensor the connectors came off of on the old housing.The connectors were plugged back on when the job was completed, but now I have the yellow"check engine" icon showing on the instrument display. Have I managed to get the connectors swapped?

Yes very common usually need to replace the orings on the sensors. But they can be a PITA to find, I had to replace the sensors.
