Yes, the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider # BWRVK3670 will fit into the factory mounting points on your 2022 Ram 3500. This hitch is designed for use in short bed trucks like your Ram to move the pivot point back 12" for maneuvering your 5th wheel trailer without contacting the cab against the trailer. You must get out and position your hitch manually in the maneuvering position before making tight turns when reversing and return it to towing position after completing your maneuver.
If you prefer a auto sliding hitch the Demco Hijacker Autoslide 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # DM8550035 can be used with a Demco 5th Wheel Rail Adapter # DM6099. The adapter converts the factory mounts in your bed to accept the rail mount of the Demco hitch. With this hitch you can stay in your truck and the further you turn the more the camper will slide away from your cab saving you steps and time when you need to maneuver the trailer. This system may require a special locking plate if you have a cushioned pin box on your 5th wheel. If you can tell me what pin box your trailer has I can confirm fit or recommend the correct locking plate for you.
