I checked with my contact at Reese and the Reese Rail kit part # RP50074-58 that you referenced comes with isolators that go between the steel of the rail kit and the aluminum of the bed to protect everything from corrosion due to dissimilar metals.
So the isolators go between the brackets and the bed, and then between the bed and the rails as well.
