Hey Travis, so the Curt Echo # C51180 doesn't have a way to apply brakes to one side of the trailer more than the other. It can only put out one brake signal so if you have problems with one side of the trailer brakes it's not the brake controller.
It's probably wiring though so I would check to make sure the brake output circuit is making it to both brake assemblies and also that the assemblies are grounded properly.
