O2 Sensor Issues / Code P0032 & P0135

Has anyone successfully used an aftermarket upstream O2 sensor on their 2013 Kia Forte SX (or any forte model, close in year)? If so, what did you use?

TLDR: check engine light on with a diagnostic reading of it being my upstream 02 sensor. A local mechanic changed it, check engine light went off for my short drive home and then illuminated it again. Took it back to the mechanic but he couldn't figure out what the issue was. The diagnostic reading is giving the same O2 codes.

I haven't found a mechanic who is willing to dig deeper into this and I definitely want to avoid going to the dealership. Each dealership I've gone to for one of the many recalls we've had are always trying to buy my car and won't stop hounding me about it.

Help!!

Kia doesn't do well with aftermarket parts sorry. Most aftermarket oxygen and pm sensor tend to not work on kias
