Default O2 Sensor Melted, Need help

So i need to get my smog done & the 4 pin flat connector on the passenger side upstream O2 sensor melted due to my headers. Is there any connectors i can buy to just plug and play. Would i be able to just use a downstream O2 sensor to replace it ?? Also just so i’m correct from what i’ve seen in videos (don’t go under my car much) it’s a square connector that connects to the 02 sensor correct ?

I don't believe the downstream o2 would work, you will want the same as you have.
Also, and you probably are already going to do this, wrap the area with heat shielding so it doesn't happen again.
I use stuff like this:
Amazon Amazon
has velcro and makes it easy to wrap and secure.

Just one thing if you decide to do it yourself, make sure you have a socket made for 02 sensors, other wise you will damage part.
