I Bought the socket to change the o2 sensor on my kia sephia and the o2 sensor is recessed in too far and I can't get the socket to bite on the darn thing. What gives?

See if removing the exhaust manifold cover allows it to grip.

Is there a heat shield in the way? You could remove the bolts that retain that shield to gain more access. Or maybe take the socket back and try a different version socket.
