Helpful Expert Reply:
You can not use a Sidewinder/Revolution with a hitch that uses a center post as the main attachment like the B and W hitches do. It has to be a hitch that attaches to the truck with the four corners.
Since you have a B and W Turnoverball gooseneck what you need is the Companion Slider hitch # BWRVK3400 to give you turning clearance. Unless you wanted to remove the gooseneck hitch and start over.
