looking for the passenger side fog light harness but cannot find it. Can you see where it is coming from and whether it shares a bundle before it splits? I see the other side along with the parking sensors connector, but nothing on the passenger. I am sure I disconnected it.

What to check next

Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.

Check the VIN-based equipment information and the correct owner's manual before searching further for a missing harness. Confirm whether the openings or lamps belong to the original bumper arrangement or an aftermarket replacement. If factory fog lamps are confirmed, use the matching wiring diagram to identify the connectors and inspect for removed or damaged wiring. If they were never fitted, adding them is a retrofit that needs compatible wiring and controls. Do not borrow connections from parking sensors or the outside-temperature sensor. The first useful answer may simply be that this car was not built with that equipment. Confirming the build specification prevents buying a harness to fix something that was never installed.

Guidance references and applicability

The right passenger fog lead is the longer branch. It routes across the lower front of the vehicle, behind/under the center grille area, toward the passenger fog lamp. On cars with front parking sensors, it runs in essentially the same area as the front parking sensor harness, so that's the bundle I would follow first.

turned out there are no connectors to them I guess it didn't come with it. as there are no wires on either side. one was for the parking sensors, and the other for ambient temp sensor

Okay, that makes sense.
