So you have a tow vehicle that has a 7-way connector on it and then a trailer that has a 5-way? What you would need to do is remove the 5-way wiring and install a 7-way with a lead like part # HM20048 which is a 7-way with 11 feet of harness.
I attached a picture that has a diagram that has how a 7-way normally wires to a trailer.
