My car would not crank up we picked up that the Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS) was damaged - snapped/physically damaged.

We replaced the CPS and the card would start up.
Then picked up the same problem again where the sensor has again been physically damaged.
What could be damaging the CPS?
Is this sensor bot supposed to be electronically interacting with the vehicle and not physically?
What could be in the way that it's damaging the sensor.
