Possibly a bulb or messed up wiring - the wiring around an added in trailer wiring plug is usually the most common spot for wiring problems.

When you put the turn signal on, does the turn indicator light up? If it lights up does it stay on?

Do the running lights work? The running lights should all be on with the first detent of the light switch.

I would say the next step involves a multimeter.

Do you have 12V going to the turn signal switch?

Yes?, then go to the flasher.

12V at flasher?

Yes, then go to the hazard light flasher.

12V at Hazard flasher?

Yes, then go to each socket and see if you have voltage at each bulb.

Interested to see if amazon adapter works or it will read as trailer is attached.
Bummer to hear about Opt7. Their Instagram page makes them appear as they have no quality issues.
