It is pretty common for newer vehicles like your 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 to have issues with trailers that have LED lights due to the factory computer expecting to see a certain draw from the circuit, but LEDs have a very low draw.
To fix the issue I recommend the 7-Way to 5-Way/4-Way Trailer Adapter for Vehicles with Lamp-Out Sensors Towing Trailers with LEDs # C35FR if your trailer has a 4-way connector on it, or the # 20142 if your trailer has a 7-way connector. These adapters have built in resistors to get rid of the check bulb warning you are seeing.
