Default New rebuilt 6.0 camshaft sensor problem

hey guys I have a issue I'm trying to fix and could use any help possible. I just got a new rebult 6.0 for my 04 tahoe z71 and I've got one code showing up and it's p032; camshaft sensor low bank1 and after some research it looks like the guy put a camshaft (2010 6.2 corvette cam) that doesn't have a reluctor ring on it for the sensor to read! My question is there a way around this like connecting the wires and completing the circuit or is the only option getting new cam? I've got a lot of time and money into this and will eventually get the right cam but need to no if I can get around this until I can. FYI the sensor is behind intake going into block right above cam not in front timing chain cover on both my old 5.3 and the new 6.0. Thanks

someone said that I need to get a different cam gear and timing chain cover to fix the problem but I can't understand how that would fix it being the sensor is in the rear of engine and still won't be able to read the cam.

Gen IV engines used a cam sensor in the front cover and a different cam gear for the sensor to read from. You can leave the rear sensor in the block to keep it sealed up, but run an extension harness to the front can sensor.

Just make sure it's a cam gear that's compatible. There is a 1x gear and a 4x.

So so I got everything done; new front cover with cam sensor and new 1x cam gear to match my 24x crank and than the 36" harness extension. Before I did the sensor swap I had the p0342 code (low circuit bank1) and now that's it's done I have the p0343 code ( high circuit bank 1) ? Any idea what I should do first. Thanks in advance
