02 sensor malfunction (the one after catalyst)
Replace it first, then it will detect wether catalyst is working perfectly or not.

Take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic not road side quacks.

P0420 stands for “Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1).

It could be bank 1 or bank 2 depends on which of the catalyst is bad or Absent.
