The shuttle had a similar problem with a large piece of round metal that had more than one way to install of which only one was right. The mechanics knew this and asked for some markers on the piece to ease the process. The markers were never added not because of the cost of four paint points but because of the documentation that had to be updated. So there is your problem - bureaucracy. I'm sure that an engineer knew about the sensor mounting problem but nobody cared enough to make the change because of the paperwork.
