Wheel sensor fault - wiring too tight due to lowering?

Hi all
Had an ABS/TPMS light come on (along with the front assist, start stop error messages).
VW roadside says the wiring angle to the right rear wheel sensor is too tight and when he moves the connector he can change the warning lights. He says it’s down to being lowered putting more tension and angle on the wiring. Anyone had this?
Reluctant to take to dealer (have All In warranty) if I’ll be hit with extortionate diagnosis bills.
Thanks in advance for any pointers
 
It’s only normal wires, just extend the wires to the plug.
Mine was really tight for the pad wear indicator after lowering and I got an intermittent brake warning light. I seem to remember that I just rerouted the cable slightly.
It’s deffo a non-mechanicy type job. Take the wheel off and look at the cable and its path to the plug.
 
Thanks for the steer. While I could probably have a go myself I think I’ll get someone to do it for me, I don’t even have a trolley jack let alone a soldering iron (if indeed the wires need extending).
