Parts Needed to Install Brake Controller in 2015 Ford Flex with Tow Package

Question

Question:

I have purchased the oem wiring for the rear bumper to convert the wiring for a 7 way/4 way connector. Ford part number DA8Z-15K868-H. If I purchase this item and plug it in the connector under the dash. I should have 7 way and 4 way power? Btw, I also purchased all of the oem oil cooler parts due to a possible problem with warranty. Your expert opinions are very important to me, I have trusted you in the past and you have never let me down, thank you for that!!
