You are making some pretty good progress on your install and are almost there!
I recommend using the hole that the hood latch cable gets run through fire wall as the location to run the black power wire from your trailer brake controller to the vehicle battery, and to run the blue brake output wire back to your 7-way connector. You can see this location at the 10:55 minute mark of the included video of a trailer brake controller being installed on a similar 2012 Chevrolet Equinox.
