Usually on a trailer the turn signals and brake lights are on the same circuit and not the running lights and brake lights.
On a light such as # STL78RB the red wire is for turn signal and brake lights but on your set up you would have to use it for the running and brake lights. The black, which is normally running lights, would have to be the turn signal circuit.
