There are several ways to go about using your 2015 Ford F-350 short bed with factory rail kit to tow both gooseneck and 5th wheel trailers, but there is only one best way.
The best option is to avoid use of hitch adapters that can cause extra trailer frame stress by installing on your 5th wheel a Goose Box replacement pin box that couples directly to a gooseneck hitch ball like # RP85FR.
Goose Box 5th wheel pin boxes are made in several models that are direct bolt-on replacements for the most popular 5th wheel pin boxes. I linked an article that covers all types of adapters, including the Goose Boxes, which are available in three styles. All are shown on the linked page.
This is absolutely your best option since these do NOT cause any additional stress on the trailer frame. Some 5th wheel trailer makers will void your trailer frame warranty if any other type of adapter is used, so this is something to check on with the maker of your 5th wheel.
If you do not have one of the above pin boxes on your 5th wheel please let me know and I will find you another option.
