Default Fuel level sensor ??

I have a 04 dodge ram 1500 and it's 2 wheel drive I'm trying again to get it to pass smog buy it has 2 more codes one of them is P0463. Oriellys did a print out for me but idk how to tell what it means but it says "fuel level sensor circuit high input." They told me to replace the fuel pump but I just replaced it in like February of 2023. And my fuel Guage hasn't worked in like a year and a half so idk if that could be what the code means but I would hate to pay another 200$ and fight with pulling the fuel tank again to have that not be the problem. Any words of advice?

This is from oriellys

Have a scanner that can read live data??? (you really need on if you want to work on the newer stuff.....) See what voltage the sensor is getting. (can also test with a volt meter, at the tank.) Should be 5 volts....

Ignition on, engine doesn't have to be running, red lead goes to the power feed wire at the sensor, I don't have wiring diagrams handy... so, not sure which one, black lead goes to negative battery terminal. Put the range on 20 volts DC.
