Default Front park sensor failure

Hello Guys!

I have a 2004 C5 Avant. It has an original park assist around the car. It was just beeping then turned to fail.

I've checked it with VCDS 16.8
I found that one sensor is wrong at the front and one at rear.
I had to change the cable at the rear. Now it's good.

PROBLEM at the front sensors:
I've changed one sensor(front-middle-right), which was shown by VCDS. Sometimes it's working sometimes not. Only one sensor fail shows up in VCDS but I've check the two sensors on the right side don't work. I don't hear the clicking. Also if it's working there are no feedback from those two sensors. Only they don't feel anything but the other six.

The box are the same with the rear, where the wire goes? Or should I found somewhere else another box?

Thanks in advance.

As far as I can tell, there is only one control unit for the parking assist. On the Avant, it is located in the left rear underneath the carpet for the side. If the sensors are good, the only other thing to change is the control unit.
