What was the issue that required the O2 sensors to be replaced? That exhaust flange looks pretty rough, your o2 sensors won’t read properly if it’s leaking exhaust at the flange gaskets.
So It looks like you missed a bunch of steps. There is a heat shield and a cross member plate that needs to be removed. The heat shield is 4 10mm screws and a bunch of plastic tabs. The crossmember is 6 12mm bolts. To get to the crossmember bolts you have to remove some of the screws on the passenger side plastic panel. You might as well pull off the plastic panel on the drivers side, its just a few 10mm bolts and makes it easier to work on and clean underneath.
Thanks for the additional info! I will add that it can be helpful to remove the bracket that holds the connectors to be able to unplug the sensor, it’s just one 10 mm bolt.

It is definitely 20 dollars worth of work
why dont you do it yourself?
would be helpful if you could point out which side is the front of the vehicle
if you cant tell, you shouldnt be trying to do this anyway
Driver side.
Maybe the previous owner of your vehicle removed these panels and never put them back? I think the crossmember is structural.
whats the part number
