I was able to look up your trailer hitch order from etrailer.com for your 2012 Toyota Corolla and found that the hitch you purchased is the Draw-Tite Sportframe Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver 24814. While some of the hitches from the 2012 Corolla are fits for the 2016 model, unfortunately the 24814 trailer hitch is not confirmed to fit the 2016 Toyota Corolla.
For your 2016 Corolla, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24913. I like this hitch because, unlike the Curt hitch option, it will not require you to use a stabilization strap with non-trailer loads, such as a bike rack. This hitch offers the same size, 1-1/4 inch receiver as the Draw-Tite hitch from your 2012 Corolla, so all of your hitch accessories will still work well with the new # 24913 hitch. The round tube design of the # 24913 hitch is typically more visually appealing to vehicle owners.
No drilling is required to install the Draw-Tite # 24913 hitch on your 2016 Corolla. I have attached the installation instructions, as well as an installation video on a similar Corolla for you.
If you'd like a wiring harness for the 2016 Corolla, I recommend the Tow Ready T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118405. This harness is a custom fit harness that will install in line with the vehicle's wiring system behind the trim panel in the cargo area on the driver's and passenger's sides.
