pull that plug again and make shure it did not crack when installing and when you put it back together swap that new coil with another one some where else.

Before pulling the plug, verify that your connector on cylinder #7 is properly seated. I've had trouble with the connectors not completely seating.

Could be the plug or COP is bad. But it could also be too much anti-seize was applied.

Hope it's an easy fix.

I swapped plug and coil from another cyl and still misfire #7, is there any fuel pressure or compression issues?

Usually fuel pressure issues will show up on bank 1, being as it's the last side to get pressure. Disconnect both the injector harness and the cop harness, and connect a noid light to the harnesses and make sure it flashes with the engine running. A test light can be used for this, but keep run time as short as possible. If you the light pulses on both circuits, it's possible you have a bad injector or compression problem.
