To mount your Curt 5th wheel hitch in the Ford factory puck system, you will need the Adapter Rails for Curt 5th Wheel Hitch item # C88KR. This adapter will drop right into the pucks built into your F-250's bed while also providing a set of base rails similar to what your old 2012 used.
I am not familiar with the 3884 part number you referenced. The only other option to do what you are wanting is to use the Reese Elite Series Underbed Rail Adapter item # RP30156. This is an identical adapter made by Draw-Tite. It's just a bit pricier but does the same thing.
I have linked a couple of installation videos below so you can see how to get the set up.
