Help with Sensor Reattachment

I installed my Dinan springs last night and the one snag I hit was re-attaching one of the sensors on the front wheel (this is the sensor is on both front wheels, not the one that is just on the driver's side); see picture below.

it seems like it is just getting caught up on something. The other side went right back in with no problem.

Questions:

1. Can anyone confirm if this is the "Accelerating Sensor" (P/N 37146793848)?
2. Does anyone have ant tips for getting this reconnected? I was thinking of trying to blow some compressed air into the female piece but I also dont want to damage the sensor (assuming i havent already).

I get a "chassis" error message on start-up, but when i switch from comfort to sport I definitely feel a difference so i believe the adaptive dampers are still working and there are no other errors (other than the information from that sensor not being transmitted).

The pictures are below along with some close ups.

Wow I didnt even remember this issue. I seem to recall that I popped the wheel off a couple days later, maybe used some contact cleaner and eventually got the plug back in.

Never definitively identified what the sensor was.
