Well, thats what i have. I saw your guide here: https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX-SPMT about using a third party software to manage a MN while storing the coins on ledger. How can one know if it is safe to use this software? how easily the controller could be hijecked and will it make any harm or effect the wallet?

Install SPMT https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX-SPMT

It's no problem to use a Ledger. You never want the controller wallet and the MN to be on the same device, and if they're separate anyway, it doesn't matter if you're holding your private keys in a Ledger or anything else. More here.
