Thank you for all of the information!

It sounds like you're needing the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # K23-462-463-00 which are 10" x 2-1/4" brakes rated for 4,400 lb axles. The mounting bolt pattern measures 2-7/8" apart at the top and 3-1/4" apart at the bottom as you can see in the attached photo.

I'm also linking a review video for you to check out.
