Difficult to tell from the pics, but there should be an arm on the back of the sensor, which is connected by a rod to a bracket bolted to the upper face of the wishbone :-\

At a guess I would suggest that the wishbones have been replaced with cheapy ones without the threaded hole for the bracket, and whoever fitted them simply broke the rod and arm off rather than improvise ::)

If you can, a pic from the front, or straight along the top of the rear edge of the wishbone should confirm (or not) my suspicions :y

Looking at what isn't present between the two pics, I would suggest my hunch was correct ::)

Agreed.  :y

Why would anyone think that it's OK to remove an item rather than refit it  ???

From that pic you need

4, 6, 7 and 13 :y but try the breakers here first, as the sensors are pricey new...

As that IPC shows, front and rear sensors are the same, as are the rods, but you'll need the bracket as that is clearly missing from the wishbone :y
