P015B Help

I have a 2013 Suburban 1500 LTZ 4x4 with the aluminum block LC9 5.3. The other day I had the CEL illuminate for a code called P015B, which means that the powertrain control module detected a delayed response time from the upstream oxygen sensor or circuit for engine bank one.
I read online that the most common cause is a bad sensor. Thing is my Burb is equipped with 2 upstream sensors, one on each exhaust pipe. So I replaced the one on the passenger side and cleared the code. Almost 3 weeks later the CEL comes back on again, same code. What else could be causing this? I am new to the forum so any help would be much appreciated.

The passenger side is bank 2, bank 1 is the driver's side.

But, I've gotta say, if you have the smarts to Google the code and change the sensor, picking the wrong bank is an unlikely mistake.

I replace all 4 oxygen sensors every 90-100k miles and not worry about them anymore in between.
I am on my 3rd set on my 285k mile 2001 Suburban. It never had any oxygen sensor related CEL codes.

As Ray said, you can change the driver side sensor which is bank 1.
