The Reese Quick-Install Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches # RP50066-58 are not a confirmed fit for your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 6-3/4' bed. You would instead want to use the Curt Custom Fifth Wheel Installation Kit for Chevy/GMC Truck - Carbide Finish # C16429-204. This kit is a custom fit for your Silverado's frame so it will use the factory holes instead of requiring you to drill holes for installation, which will greatly reduce the installation process.
Since you have a 6-3/4' bed I recommend using a sliding fifth wheel hitch to add extra turning clearance and prevent the nose of your fifth wheel from coming into contact with the cab of your truck. For this I recommend the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R16 Slider - Dual Jaw - 16,000lbs # C16521 or Curt A20 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ R20 Slider - Dual Jaw - 20,000lbs # C16541 depending on the GVWR of your trailer. These hitches feature a 12" of travel and have a 3-Point indicator system. The color coding tells you if hitch is ready to uncouple, couple, or tow with the lock indicators being visible from the cab. The interlocking 2-jaw system provides 360-degree jaw-to-king-pin contact for less rattle and more security than slide-bar models.
If you don't already have an in-bed 7-way I recommend installing the Curt 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Custom Wiring Harness w/ 7-Pole Connector - 7' Long # C56070
