Default a little O2 sensor help

I am getting old and can't remember ****. I have had the car apart for over two months and forgotten where **** went.

in the pic if you were looking forward i have two o2 sensors on the left and one on the right hanging. I have two bungs on my lg long tubes on the right side and one on the left. does it matter how i hook these up. I am assuming not b/c they are just in the pipes. You know what happens when you assume. thanks

The fronts use a flat connector, rears are round. Believe with LG they suggest you use rears due to stronger heaters.

ok, they all look round to me. note that i bolted the header back on without putting the tunnel plate on first. what a pain to bend the tunnel plate and try to squeeze it back in there.

Oh, no big deal. Just think of the fun you'll have working under that nice looking lift.

No they aren't....as I said earlier front ones use flat electrical connectors and rears use more of a round plug. LG sells the adapters to allow use of rears up front for like $39 I believe.
