Question Can't get a sensor module

Not so much a bug as an irritation. To advance the Headless Gunman quest I need a sensor module, but they are simply not spawning anywhere. I've checked all the vendors multiple times over several in-game days (Diamond City, Trudy, Carla, Good Neighbor) plus random traders on the road, and gone to the sites recommended on the wiki, but have had no luck. I've also checked the bench inventories at my settlements in hopes that I had picked one up earlier and hadn't used it yet - no luck.

I started this quest after completing the Molecular Level, which is the only quest that also requires it. So I'm not sure if I'm just having tremendously bad luck, or if it stops spawning after that. (on the other hand, there is no shortage of high-powered magnets to be bought - practically every junk vendor has one of those!)

If I don't get one in the next little bit of questing, I'll just spawn one in using console commands, but this could be a frustrating problem for someone on Xbox.
 
It might be a good candidate for a plots' scrap production TBH. I'll think about what I can do for that, I consider Sensor Modules to be pretty important due to Headless Gunman & high explosive collar requirement.

Getting the Vault Tec Salesman as a scrap vendor will have him sell rare scrap, so there could be a chance of him having these.

but this could be a frustrating problem for someone on Xbox.
Cheat Holotapes let you lookup and spawn items on demand. Such as Cheat Terminal found here: https://bethesda.net/en/mods/fallout4/mod-detail/911793
 
That was one of the places I checked. No dice. According to the wiki, it's only a chance to spawn. I think I'm just having bad luck.
I dislike RNG a lot so I feel I'll make a plot for this. I had this factory WIP that I didn't know what I was going to do with in terms of what it would produce(and the clutter should follow from what it produces). I think I will have it produce science themed stuff including Sensor Modules.

You can purchase these from most junk vendors. They should also be available in the loot table from the Tech Salvagers in Industrial Revolution - though I need to confirm that.
 
Sensor Module Factory coming along, levels 1, 2 & 3 side by side.

Still not sure on a name though.
