DSC error after replacing lots of stuff

I hit a curb. So, lets get that out of the way... It bent the right wishbone and knocked everything associated out of whack (the front tires were pointing in different directions). For the price I expected to pay for a wishbone, I was able to get a 10 piece kit that had all of the front end stuff for both sides. I figured this would be a good time to do a bunch of stuff I never felt like doing.

One thing led to another... While I was doing all of the suspension stuff, I also did a left, front wheel bearing and both front wheel speed sensors. Oh yeah, it turns out the battery was shot so I replaced that, too. Because, science, I didn't take it for a test drive until I replaced everything.

The DSC kept trying to kick in as soon as I would come off idle. The car would move fine while idling, but as soon as I came off idle, the brakes would start pumping and the faster I went, the worse it got. The car was trying to keep me from moving. After about a mile, the DSC disengaged, it gave me an error, and the car drove as normal.

The new wheel speed sensors were a little different than the old ones. They were smaller in diameter and flat at the tip instead of angled. I also had to put 3 little washers on the mounting screw because it would bottom out before engaging the sensor. They had the same electrical plug as the old ones.

Did someone send me the wrong wheel speed sensors? Are they not reading my bearings?
