Default Knock Sensor Headache

Yea I'm throwing a knock sensors code and I poped my hood and noticed I didn't have one. When I do get my sensor I was wondering how to install and what I need to do. There's 2 connectors that fit and ones a little longer reach the knock sensor. Which one do I plug into the knock sensor?

depends on your motor and ECU. what are they? the knock sensor threads into the back on the block. usually 1 wire is grounded to the thermostat housing and the other wire goes to pin A17 (B-series)

So you bought a new knock sensor or something and havent installed it. If so just match up the connectors. Are you using the gsr engine harness?

Yea the things is the 2 connectors that I outlined in red are free and aren't connected to anything. I was confused because I didn't know what connecter to put into the knock sensor. Come to find out the connectors that I outline in red are really the o2 and temp sensor and actually what I outlined in yellow is the knock sensor sonnector.
Please correct me if i'm wrong
