I do have a solution for you, however the Draw-Tite Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation Rail Kit # 4435 referenced in your question will not fit your 1996 Dodge Ram. This particular installation kit is designed for later model year Rams, starting with the 2003 model year 2500.
For your truck, I instead recommend the Gooseneck Trailer Hitch Installation Rail Kit # 4439. This is confirmed to fit your truck and will be compatible with your existing Gooseneck Hide-A-Goose Trailer Hitch. I have attached the written installation details on this kit, along with a short video demonstration that you can use for reference.
