Getting P0348 code reading after engine swap...any ideas?

Hi all,
I've recently had to do an engine swap (due to the timing belt going bad on my original engine). After the engine swap, the 'Check Engine' light came on. I had the codes read and am getting a P0348 (Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit High Input (Bank 2))? Any ideas as to why that might be? Could one of the sensors on the engine I got be bad? Could something not have gotten connected correctly? Anything I can look for or verify the connection of? Are these sensors accessible or are they hidden?

Thanks in advance!!

Driver side sensor could be bad... was the timing belt
replaced as well during the swap, alignment tools used?

The Bentley CD lists steps to check sensor & wiring.

Thanks for the info and links. I was able to find the P0348 code in the download link you provided, but was not able to access the wiring diagram or component location diagrams. It said the content is not active. It appears I need a license to access some of the links? Trying to find the location of the driver side sensor to swap out with one from original engine, hopefully that'll fix the check engine light.

Thanks

The second link I posted would be the one-time-payment to
unlock the software.

-edit-
removed "component location" comment

See attached image... for the passenger side.

Driver side is at the rear of the head.
