To make a 7-way to 6-way square adapter will require you to get the part # 37995 to use the 6-way end and then wire up a 7-way to it like part # H20043. This will give you the adapter you would need since there isn't one already pre-made.

Or you just cut off the 6-way and wire the # H20043 to the wiring in place of it.
