Dealer Installed Mopar Trailer Camera: Move From Bumper To Truck Bed

[SAJ]

I had the the dealer install the Mopar after market camera, pre-delivery on my new 2021 Dodge Ram 2500. (Yes, I am kicking by own a** for that) The plug in the truck that the camera wiring connects TO was installed in the bumper. BUT, instead, I wanted it installed in the drivers side bed wall alongside the goosneeck 7 pin. Reason is -- I wanted the connecting camera wiring to come down INTO the bed, via the gooseneck, as the wiring is from the camera in the horse trailer.

So, how it looks now, is that when I hitch up my Gooseneck, and connect all cords, the camera wiring goes over the tailgate, instead of into the truck bed, leaving the cord draping over the truck tail gate as it connects down into the port. Ugh.

So, now I have to fix this. Or, just suck it up. Is there a realistic solution for this, besides paying another ridiculuous amount of money to have it re-installed at the dealer? They are sending me an alternative - ANOTHER port that I can then put in the bed, as it should have been correctly in the first place. BUT, there's no way I'm paying that same amount.

Any thoughts on my options....

Are you saying you don't have the 7-pin/12-pin in the bed?

If you have the rectangular 7-pin/4-pin in the bed, just swap the plugs and move the extra 12-pin cable. The 2020-2021 trucks with Aux camera have 7-pin/12-pin plugs in BOTH locations but only one is connected at a time under the truck.

What year truck?

Sorry, newbie stuff in this question here I know!

I have a Cummins Ram 2500. 7 way in the bed. (I of course will need that and it does work find for the trailers' power). They installed that. They also installed the 12 pin for the camera into the bumper - see photo attached.

The associated Mopar Camara that I have bought has yet to be wired to my horse trailer, but that's my next step.
So, with what you suggested, would this mean that I would expect the dealer, to have this be a big ticket item? I have reached out to my local dealership and they passed me off to a private party that didn't call me back! Trust me, I would prefer to not go to a dealer, but I haven't had any luck finding anyone who would do this for me locally here in the Phoenix area.

If it makes a difference, this was done by the dealer as an aftermarket add on.

The 2019 kit only had the bumper plug. Sounds like the dealer installed the wrong kit.

The 2020-2021 kit should have had BOTH 7-pin/12-Pin plugs (but only has one cable connected at a time. But I'm assuming the kit has both because the 2020-2021 factory trucks with camera have both.

The (20+) bed parts needed are:
Housing: 68453200AA
12-pin frame to bed cable: 68445096AB
12/7-pin receptacle: 68014986AB
