Default I screwed up and now I need help

I had a bald tire that needed to get changed, so I decided to at least take the wheel off to save some $.

I got the axle out and everything comming apart, then realized I was getting tire hung up on the rear brake caliper. I wasn't paying close attention and removed the two allen bolts that hold the caliper to the caliper mount so I could free up some wiggle room. In the process, I pulled the assembly apart, then realized I have ABS. I can not see how the sensor is positioned so I can put it back correctly.

Would someone be willing to take some pictures of their bike so I can see how it goes back together?

This is what I get for trying to get all my last minute bike repairs in a few days before leaving on a trip.

TIA.

Your on the right track as to get a manual!

DiD you note everything coming a part? I've seen ABS(way to close) not a fan in anything but bikes?

I have a PDF version of the manual, but it doesn't show the ABS anywhere. I checked out the link to Ronnies, and all of that stuff is still assembled. It the sensor that I'm confused about. Does it go between the caliper and the swing arm, or between the wheel and the caliper?

I could not see all the parts on the micro pic so all I can add is that the censor must be able to read the high & low spots on the rotor, like a car. this tells the censor when to allow brake engagement & when to stop it.
I would like to say that it should make sense but sometimes it won't!

It looks like it goes outside of the rotor. I recall it being this way on my FLHXSE as well.

Check Ronnie's again, but select "Wheel - Rear".

Good call - this showed me exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate everyone's help. Should be a piece of cake now thanks to the parts list and the photo above.
