The wrong part would be the first thing I would get rid of. If the part was not damaged by the grinding, there are operating ranges for the feedback of these O2 sensors which affect the settings of the Engine Management Systems. The wrong part would have to have an identical range as the correct part to work right.
The Misfiring probably has another cause. You have 2 misfiring cylinders. Make sure the wires on #2 and #3 are not crossed at the coil-pak. Then check your Intake Manifold for loose bolts. If no luck, take the good plugs on 1 and 4 and swap them with 2 and 3. Clear your engine Codes and see if the bad cylinders stay the same or follow the plugs. If cylinder 2 and 3 still misfire, its not the plugs. Test the Injectors. Switch Injectors as you earlier switched plugs, clear the Codes and see if the misfiring follows the Injectors.
If the misfires follow the Injectors, you have found the problem. Two bad Injectors. If cylinders 2 and 3 still misfire you need to check the wiring or coil-pak. Cylinders 2 and 3 each have working sparkplugs and working Injectors from the earlier swap and it is not helping.
Before blaming a head gasket, test the Injector wiring and follow the wiring to the connector for a corrosion check on the pins. If no success do a compression check on #2 and # 3 as they are adjacent to verify a blown headgasket.
I hope you find my solution very helpful. I have provided info letting you work with the parts you have. If you want to install new plugs or do a compression test first and have the tools go ahead. You will save testing time, then follow my swap methods for further results if you have good compression.
