I have an option that may work for you.

The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter for Recessed Ball - Single Jaw - 21,000 lbs # DM8550046 is designed for flat bed trucks like your 2017 Ram 2500 CM Flatbed and installs onto a 2-5/16" gooseneck ball so it can be removed when you need to tow a gooseneck trailer, but you will want to verify a few things first.

The # DM8550046 requires the top of the gooseneck ball to be 13/16" or closer to the top of the flatbed, and requires the gooseneck ball to be recessed.

As long as your flatbed meets these requirements this will be the best option to be able to use either the gooseneck ball or a 5th wheel hitch.

I included a video of the # DM8550046 for you to take a look at.
