Will update with what i find, thank you for the advice and TSB
EDIT: Ill send a picture of what the inside of the connector looks like when i get a chance, most likely when i go to swap the position sensors

By any chance are you running E-85 or a turbo on your car? If so you may want to look at this article:

The "Italian tune-up" may be beneficial for you in either of those cases, but first make sure you have enough oil in the crankcase. Your flashing oil light is a suspect along with the P0011 code.
You never mentioned if you purchased your FR-S used or if you've been the original owner since it was new. You never know what was done (or not done) to the engine prior to you being the second owner. Perhaps the oil changes weren't completed at the proper intervals? Good oil is EXTREMELY important for these engines to survive. Any gunk running through the oil passages can clog something up and cause catastrophic engine failure.
