Expert Reply:

The installation instructions for the Convert-A-Ball 5th Wheel Adapter, part # CAB-C5G, specify that the cap screws should be tightened evenly, making sure the main body of the adapter moves upward toward the pin box until firmly seated. Then they should be torqued to 100-ft-lbs. Next the jamb nuts should be tightened until firmly in place, followed by attachment of the safety chains.

Hey David, from previous customers of ours who have the same 2020 Keystone Raptor 424 we have determined that your pin box style is the Lippert 1621 which means for a Gen-Y gooseneck adapter you'd want the #GY58GR that you referenced.
