Yes, it will. The Curt Echo Wireless Brake Controller item # C51180 just needs to be plugged in-line with your trailer's 7-way connector. It will work on both the bumper and in bed vehicle connectors.
I have a better solution for you though that still uses the same wireless system controlled by your phone. It is the Curt Echo In-Line Wireless Brake Controller item # C79DR. This Curt Echo plugs in to your Ram's factory harness and provides a brake controller for both your bumper and in bed 7-way.
I have linked an installation video below. You will want to install this forward of the T-connector that goes to your in bed 7-way so the controller works for both connectors.
