Oxygen Sensor for my 85 911 Carrera issue

Oxygen Sensor for my 85 Porsche 911 Carrera issue.
I had to replace my catalytic converter and the oxygen sensor. The old O2 had seized up in the old Cat.The old O2 had just one black wire to it. I ordered a new Bosch OME Oxygen Sensor and it came with 3 wires (one single black plug….ground I guess) and (one two prong plug white and black). I found where the single (ground wire?) went the ground headed to the DME ground. I would assume that the other two prong plug should go somewhere in the eng compartment. I have look hard for a plug with one green wire and one yellow wire (going by my electrical wiring diagram). I can't even find any wires not being used. Any ideas???

1) An acetylene torch used to heat up the bung cherry red would have gotten the O2 sensor out of your cat I bet

2) 85 is a DME car and should have a 3 wire O2 sensor and appropriate plug & harness AFAIK. 2 wires are for a heater, and the 3rd is the actual sensor. I don't remember which is which, but the heater has pretty low resistance so a multimeter should be able to verify.
