The more level you can get your truck and trailer when hitching up the easier of a time you'll have. That said, the fifth wheel hitch that allows the most side to side movement is the Curt Q20 part # C16130 which has a spherical axial bearing that allows the head to pivot more than other options. It's hard to say if it would be enough to allow your connection to happen easily but it's the best option around.
I attached a review video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
