If the steering angel sensor is new the code would indicate a wiring/contact issue.

Check where the harness plugs into the ABS pump (front left/drivers) and make sure it is secure and there are no damaged wires.

Check the plug that plugs into the steering angle sensor, be sure when the clock spring wires melted it didn't damage those.

On the steering angle sensor check the harness

Check the voltage between terminals.
Voltage
Inspection terminals: D56-4(IG) - chassis ground
Inspection conditions: IG ON
Standard value: 11 to 14 V

Check the resistance between terminals.
Inspection terminals: D56-1(ESS) - chassis ground
Inspection conditions: Always
Standard value: Less than 1 Ω

If the values aren't correct, there is a issue in the harness.
