Astra K PowerSteering VIN change

1
Hello, 
I'm trying to fix Astra K 2018 with faulty Steering rack. Water got to the Power Steering unit. I tried to order a new one but even if customer would have the ridiculous amount of money the rack is unavailable. That is why I try to make it work with used one. I'm stuck at programming it because sps2 needs propper vin in the module. I try to use gm dps but I don't have the zip file for it. I'm looking for someone that can help. I have 20h left to use sps2.
Thanks given by:

If you tried programming it with sps2 then you have the files you need to create an archive for use with dps. Then you can put the vin in that you want in ecu info page, then program with dps.. Cannot say whether or not there is immo keys that have to be done as well though. I have not personally attempted on an 18, I have done a 2013 and 2014 equinox steering gear but yours is 4 years newer.

I know that sps data is needed to create the files but no experience how to do it.

If anyone interested. What I have done is swap the EPS motor/module ONLY. VXUtility helped a lot with VIN. VIN change went with no issues. Straight forward and easy with that software and Openport. After that aligning steering angle sensor also worked BUT... here it gets tricky. After all that I can see the steering angle sensor working all the way from left to right, but if I go past 180degrees left and about 250degrees right I get C0460-5A and ESP light. The sensor works all the way to 540degrees with no issues. I'm clueless why. Maybe someone here have an idea? I think about trying SPS2 to fully program the module but my access expired and I don't want to pay for another 24h just based on guessing.
