The Curt X5 5th Wheel Base Rails Adapter for B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Trailer Hitches - 20,000 lbs # 16310 is compatible with manual sliding 5th wheel hitches. It is not compatible with auto-slide hitch options. Unfortunately it is not compatible a few of the Ram trucks with the gooseneck hitch and yours is one of them.
My recommendation for you is to use the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3400-5W which will work well with your Turnoverball gooseneck hitch.
