Default Please help. Cam sensor problem from LS6 to LS2 swap

Ok. So since I have put my car back together with the conversion stroker motor my cam sensor just hadn't worked. Constantly throwing a code. Well now it has come to a head as I need an inspection and the engine light had to be off. Not to mention the times where it takes two times for the car to start

Now, I know I have the correct cam sprocket. I even removed all my second guessing doubt when I took the sensor out and double checked with a scope. So that's not the problem.

The. I threw a new cam sensor at it part number 12591720

Now I did all the searching possible to help with this and did the "wire swap" deal which you need to do apparently with the extension harness. So currently it is wired the way I drew it out in the picture.

Lastly I did a continuity test on all wires and everything checks out fine. At this point I'm completely lost as to why I'm failing. Any help and expert knowledge is much appreciated!

The two outer wires need to cross over for a Gen IV sensor:
