It is possible you have disturbed a wire/connector .. have the cars PCM read for fault codes most good autoparts stores (autozone etc.) do this free .. ring the store to check .. repost with the full codes for a better diagnosis and repair information ..

The sensor should not have come out as it is screwed in .. maybe the wiring connector is off or damaged in some way .. check this first .. bank 1 is the side with #1 plug on the head and #1 sensor is the first o2 sensor on the exhaust before the catalytic convertor ..
