On the 2010 Silverado/Sierra, there isn't a connector there are bare wires that you connect the brake controller to. Under the dash, between the emergency brake pedal and the brake, there's a wiring harness with a white tag on it (see circle in provided photo). The harness has a red, dark blue, light blue and a white wire. The controller pigtail will not connect color for color, so you'll want to connect as follows:

Red harness wire to black controller wire
Dark blue harness wire to blue controller wire
Light blue harness to red controller wire
The white wires attach together

I'll link you to a help article that explains this step by step as well as to an install video.
