I am sorry to hear that the factory 12v power and trailer brake wires on your Nissan Frontier are crossed!
Luckily this issue is an easy fix, by removing the wires from the 1 o'clock 12v power pin, and 5 o'clock trailer brake pin on your 7 way connector, and swapping them allowing your trailer brake controller to work properly.
I included a diagram of the 7-way connector showing the two pins, and a helpful article on trailer wiring for you to take a look at.
