Sometimes the trailer brake controller port can be sort of hidden, but it should be taped to another connector located under the dash of your 2021 Ram 1500.

You may need to get a flash light and look up under the dash between the steering wheel and the radio to find it. The correct connector is a 4 prong connector which you can see at the 1:20 minute mark of the included video.

This plug will allow you to use a plug in adapter like the # 3024-P you were looking at, and will plug into a Tekonsha or Draw-Tite trailer brake controller.

If you can let me know what trailer brake controller you are using I would be happy to confirm the correct adapter for you.

The bolt pattern of 5 on 5 inch that there are 5 studs and the distance across the bolt circle is 5 inches. Most likely you have the more common 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern like what the wheel of the #AM20537 has instead. I attached a help article…
