I think you need to determine that all brakes on the trailer are getting brake control voltage.
One method is to use a CAMPING COMPASS next to each wheel and see if it deflects when manual brake control is applied.
My 5th wheel BRAKE MAGNETs make a tone noise when DC VOLTAGE is applied to them...

Maybe your BRAKE WIRING MOD has eliminated two of your BRAKE wiring paths???
Just a thought that went thru my mind when I read you added some additional new wiring...
Another NOTE when pressing down your BRAKE PEDAL on the truck when sitting still. My FORD TRUCK iOEM BRAKE setup is computer savy and the BRAKE FOOT PEDAL is disengaged from the BRAKE SYSTEM going back to the trailer is the speedometer is not indicating higher than 10MPH... Chevy may be doing the same thing. When I use the manual slide lever the TRAILER BRAKES work just fine when sitting still.
