Adjusting Latch of Demco Surge Coupler DM72VR to Fit Hitch Ball

Question:

I had purchased and installed the Demco Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator - Drum Brakes - Zinc Plated - 2inch Ball - 7,000 lbs Item # DM72VR. I have a 2 inch ball on my hitch but the actuator will not latch all the way on the top/ down. Is there a way to adjust this? is it dangerous to drive with it up thats what I have been doing. Thanks

If you look under the coupler # DM72VR you will see what looks like a nut on the latch assembly with a spring behind it. I attached a picture that points it out.

Loosen it slightly until the ball fits in the coupler and latches properly.
