if you mean both hoses going in and out of the radiator are different temps that's not your thermostat, something is obstructing somewhere. thoses hoses share the radiator.

First off what temp sensor did you buy as there are technically 3? One for the fan switch on the thermostat housing (round two pin plug), one on the head (round 2 pin plug that sends signal to the ecu, aka tw sensor) and a one pin plug on the head that sends signal to the gauge temperature. Why did you think it was bad? Was it overheating? Did you bleed the system of air after you did the thermostat and sensor? Upper radiator hose hot bottom cold would indicate thermostat isn't opening but need to know if you bled the air out?

i bought the sensor to the gauge cause its gone out three times now and usually its stuck on hot and now its stuck on cold. i just did a system flush and refilled it and i bleed the system and no matter what the bottom hose has no pressure and doesnt get hot im lost as a now the only thing i left left i could replace is the sensor on the thermo housing and the water pump but the top hose still cycles fluid into the radiator
