Default Wheel bearing assembly question

I'm new to making repairs to my own truck so hopefully this question isn't too outlandish.
I just replaced the wheel bearing assembly to fix a squeaking noise on my 2005 5.7L 2WD 1500. I got the assembly from Advanced Auto parts, but when I got home i realized the new one didn't have a place for me to connect the ABS sensor. I had to just put it on because I have work in the morning and the noise is gone.
The ABS light is obviously on and I don't know whether I should get a new assembly or if there's a way to resolve it with the one I just put on.

Thanks in advance for any help.

you need another bearing with the sensor in it.

Advance is really good about returns. Order the new part (lots of coupons if you shop on-line, like $40 off $100+) and make sure you get the "4 wheel ABS" version. Clean up the wrong part and take it back in the original box.

Yep...that's your best option.
