P0340 Camshaft position sensor bad again?
So I replaced all of my sensors last year and a few days ago my car died at a light which gave me the code P0340 for camshaft position sensor a circuit bank 1. I also ran into issues of bogging when doing a pull where it would stutter as if it was in some sort of limp mode. My concern is that I already replaced all of my crankshaft and camshaft position sensors with Hitatchi ones I got on amazon. Is it normal for one one to be broken already? I don't want to just drop more money in case something else is causing the issue.
*EDIT*
Car failed to start today after driving to grocery store, had all the dash lights on so I pulled up the codes, it's now P0340 and P0345 which i previously replaced. Two things that's are kinda suspicious is that I do have a slow dripping oil leak from my oil cooler so could be related to that? I also recently got a car wash and I'm unsure if it could've possibly damaged any wiring in the process.

I may have figured the issue thats causing the code. When I was examining my camshaft position sensor bank 1, I noticed the connector wasn't clicked into place with the sensor port. As much as I tried to push it in, it never "clicked". I had similar issues with bank 2's connector and I bought a new connector and swapped the wiring so it would click, which fixed the issues. So I will replace the connector for bank 1 and see if it'll work. I posted about bank 2 a year ago on the process of swapping the wiring if you need a reference to what I'm referring to.
