O2 sensor connector
Hard to see but at the lower right of center of the photo is where it attaches.
If memory serves me right and without getting under my car I believe that’s the downstream o2 sensor harness connector. It should have a tongue mount to keep it secured up higher. Jack up one side of your car high enough to rest it on a jack stand to see better. You should be able to locate where it slides on to the bracket.

You should start using the holder by the trans pan as that's the most important one then try to get the connector to clip into it's original position. If it doesn't you could always tie it to the bar that the cats bolt to like this.

Yeah, you are right on the trans pan clips because it's the designed method. I would've preferred to do that but unfortunately when I installed the Z1 HFC's, the O2 sensor bungs were located further towards the rear than factory cat bungs. That stretched the harness and I couldn't rest them in the clips which caused the harness to sag. So routing them over the crossover exhaust bracket was the best option for me to keep them up and out of the way.

It's not your only option. After installing a new trans on the car I realized the stock wiring can move quite a bit, my bung extensions are not as long as yours however it required me to loosen the clips of the harness so the connectors would reach. The pan hangers are the most important hangers in this area in my opinion, everything else can be moved. The question is what is the reason that you're not doing it. There are many other points you can fasten the rest of the wiring unlike the O2.
