Where Is Brake Controller Install Harness on 2016 Ram 1500

Question

Question:

I recently purchased a brake controller and harness for my 2016 Dodge ram 1500. I watched the video on your site. It says the factory plug is under the dash above the gas pedal. I can only locate 2 plugs one has to many connectors. And the other has 2 green wires. Is it possible its located behind the center dash? That is where the factory controller is located on the Dodges.

I attached a picture that shows where we found the brake controller install connector on a 2016 Ram 1500 to install the P3 part # 90195 and install harness part # 3024-P.

I also attached an install video that shows the entire process as well.
