If that crossover came off a Gen III engine it has to be badly bent as all Gen III engines use the rear cam sensor. What year Caddy did the tube come from?

OK, then cut the tubing and attach some hose to them and work around the sensor.

Just pull up on it gently until it bends out of the way.

I had to flex my Cadillac rear tube just a little up ward to get the plug to go in the cam sensor. No problems here, just don't go crazy.
