I think you'll have a far easier time of it if you jack the car, pull RH wheel, and remove the front half of the wheel liner. It exposes everything and will make your job tolerable and faster. I can't imagine trying to do it without, in fact. Several 8mm stainless steel nuts on the fender lip trim plus I think a couple prongs, and that removes. Several 10mm-head M6 bolts thru the liner, into plastic nuts in the bodywork, then twist and wrestle it out and away. Voila.
Routing is critical, especially where it passes near the serp belt as this could cut thru a loose or wrongly routed wire. There are two spring steel clips that hold the wiring in place here. How you get the sensor in past or under or thru the AC bracket I don't know never having done it but may have to remove the compressor temporarily, or even its bracket from the block.
Also don't know the route past the alternator; look close and you'll see.
At the bracket, wires from oxy sensors come up to the bracket from below. Plugs to wiring loom come down from above, and originally poked into the bracket and latched. Old ones seem to have the prongs broken off and anything to hold them in place here is acceptable, maybe a zip tie keeping them near the bracket.
Keep smiling.
