The B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch - Dual Jaw - 20,000lbs Item # BWRVK3500-5W drops into the square gooseneck hole that the ball would drop into. If you had an offset ball there you wouldn't be able to install the hitch.
Instead to gain some turning clearance you can use a slider like the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000lbs Item # BWRVK3400-5W.
Note: this hitch is not recommended with models that have Rambox.
