The Curt 20K 5th wheel trailer hitch # C16530-16021 is designed to fit Ram trucks that have the factory installed 5th wheel prep package with the 4 pucks in the bed, so it will fit in the pucks in your 2017 Ram 2500. However, since you have a short bed truck you're likely going to need a sliding hitch unless the trailer was specifically designed to be towed by a short bed truck.
If you do in fact need a sliding hitch, I recommend using the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider for Ram Towing Prep Package - Dual Jaw - 20K # BWRVK3670, which is also designed to fit in the OEM pucks on your 2017 Ram 2500. The Companion hitch is a great choice in terms of quality and durability, and is one of our highest rated hitches, and the sliding hitch will help keep your trailer from contacting the truck cab when making a 90 degree turn.
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to have a look at, as well.
