2004 Acura RL radiator problems 1st gen

I ordered a new radiator for my 04" RL and while installing I noticed they're is no hole for me to put in the ECT (Engine coolant temperature sensor) and my car runs like crap without that sensor, so is there anything I can do to tweak this or do I have to just order another radiator? I need help ASAP

I'd order a new radiator. Did you get one of the ones here? I'm partial to DENSO but the Koyorad one looks good as well. I believe the bottom right boss on both should fit the ECT
