For your 2016 Ram Short Bed with Factory Rail Kit, I recommend the Reese 5th Wheel Rail Adapter for Ram OEM 5th Wheel Towing Prep Package - 25,000 lbs # RP30154 for the factory pucks and then you will need the sliding hitch with your short bed. Unfortunately there is not a sliding base compatible with your Elite hitch head, but this hitch will be most similar.
Since you need to replace the hitch, you may want to consider the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch w/ Slider - Ram Towing Prep Package # C16022 along with the Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000 lbs # C16541 for a more cost efficient option.
