As long as the spray-in bed liner of your 2012 Ram 3500 is under 1/8 of an inch thick it will fit just fine. My contact at Curt said that they did build tolerances into the Curt X5 Adapter # 16310 to accommodate for that. If it is thicker than 1/8 of an inch you might have some problems though and you might want to remove a little bit of it if possible. The adapter is compatible with your Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120 that fits standard base rails.

I'm glad that you were looking into the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Wiring Harness 7-Pole # C56000 for the bed of your truck. Installing a 7-Way into the bed of your truck will help to make connecting and disconnecting your trailer wiring much quicker.

I have also attached some videos for you to check out.
