I have a solution for you. Typically, most gooseneck trailers have very little issues with cab clearances. However, some like horse carrier trailers have more of the trailer body forward over the gooseneck coupler. B&W has the 4 Inch Offset Ball for the Turnoverball Hitch, # BWGNXA4085, to help increase clearance between trailer and cab. This offset ball will move the hitch point 4 inches to the rear of the vehicle.

When installing the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, # BWGNRK1012, on your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500HD with 6-3/4 bed, the gooseneck hole will be located 44-3/4 inches from the rear edge of the truck's bed. The total length of the bed is 79.3 inches long. Therefore, from the center of the hole to the front end of the bed will measure 34-1/2 inches. The B&W offset will increase this measurement to 38-1/2 inches .

I have attached two videos for and an article for you to review. On of the videos is an installation video of the B&W Turnoverball Hitch being installed on a 2015 GMC Sierra.
