Helpful Expert Reply:
That doesn't seem right that your king pin won't fit unless you are using the wrong lube plate. There are a couple lube plates we recommend for use with B&W Companion hitch like # BWRVK3500. The proper size lube plate for use with the B&W Companion hitch is a 10 inch diameter lube plate.
I recommend the Reese Lube Plate for Reese 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches - 10 inch Diameter, item # RP83002 or the Curt 10 inch Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch Lube Plate # 16721. We have confirmed either will both work well with your Companion hitch.
