I'm not familiar with your controller but, on every aftermarket controller I ever used, the side adjustment determined when the trailer brakes engaged relative to the truck brakes and the front adjustment was for how hard to apply the brakes. Sometimes that side one is described as "setting the level of the controller", but the result is the same.
See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!
