Please be more specific... 'cause I'm old.
I’m reading your post and wondering if you know how the combination proportioning valve should be wired. Reading between the lines, I suspect your new connector has two wires. Both of those wires are tied TOGETHER inside the connector, so you only need to use one wire. You should verify this with your meter or continuity tester.
I also suspect your combination proportioning valve IS NOT off center. If it was, you would immediately blow your brake circuit fuse. I always encourage verification and further understanding by checking the Internet and I hope you recognize that your valve is not faulted nor does it need to be returned as defective.
The proportioning valve is ADDED TO your brake system. It is not a substitute for your Brake Switch. As John posted, plumb your Brake Switch back in (either the front or rear hydraulic circuit) and wire it as the original was using both green wires.
The new proportioning valve simply turns on a warning light by grounding the light bulb. That means the other side of the light bulb is connected to +12 volts. That circuit is totally separate and divorced from the brake light circuit. If you have questions regarding how to wire it, just ask.
