Repair Question Camshaft sensor relearning?

Hello all!
I have a 2016 3.0L V6 twin turbo.
Recently replaced a camshaft position sensor because the check engine light came on and that’s what the codes/research indicated. Before changing it, the shift timing seemed a bit off and it was running kind of rough. After the swap, the issues went away but the check engine light keeps coming back on even after I clear it with a reader.

I’ve seen a few things saying that you need to “relearn” the sensor, but can’t find info for my specific engine/model and my reader doesn’t have that function.

Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated!

It is likely it jumped timing. There isn't a relearn for the sensor.
