To install a brake controller on your 2017 Ford F-150 w/ factory tow package and 4-way connector, you will need to install Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole, part # 37185. You will need to run 2 wires, to the front of the truck, the Black wire for 12 volt power, and the Blue wire, which supplies power to the brakes. The Blue and Black wire will connect to the Ford wires that terminate along the frame of the F-150 near the spare tire (see FAQ).
Then, you will need to use the vehicle specific adapter to plug the brake controller into the brake controller port underneath the dash of your truck. If you have a Tekonsha brake controller, you will need to use the Tow Ready Adapter, part # 22292 like you referenced. This will work great with the Primus IQ # TK90160.
I have linked an FAQ on installing a brake controller on a Ford F-150 as well as an install video.
