I smashed the internal lens of my go pro session 4. I have taken it apart and don't know where to purchase the lens assembly. I figured the lens assembly and sensor will need to be purchased together because the lens is glued into the assembly probably for focusing. I was able to get it screwed out but figure there will be no way to refocus it with a new replacement....
Is this a good question?

I was wondering also if one of the two will work since the sensor size is supposed to be the same:

I am about to receive a cracked lens Hero Session and will followup with what I find.
You should be able to refocus by using a calibration target to make sure image lens is screwed to correct position for proper focus, then maybe hot glue in place:
Was this answer helpful?
So, were you able to replace the lens?
Yes, in regards to the outer lens. No, wasn't required regarding the inner from what inspection I've performed so far.
I found the outer lens destroyed and the inner lens wasn't in as bad of shape as the listing noted. I replaced the outer lens, invested in a aluminum 52mm lens adapter, a 52mm CPL and lens cover also. I haven't performed a thorough image analysis though.
Thankfully, from what I can tell that appears to be imperfect on the internal lens from a visual inspection... isn't observable in the images from a quick review.
