The sensor is the top black plate, the power button is the blister switch below. Sadly, without the original sensor your system won’t work properly. This will require a new logic board and the mated sensor.

@gjvjojvnsj4nn12 - Apple designed the part so it can’t be altered as that effects the security of the TouchID and the invalidates the T2 encryption so the system is the workable.

The first image is the TouchID sensor marked in red. The second image is the power switch again marked in red.
