You do have the installation of the U-bolt safety chains correct for the Buyers Products 2-5/16" Fabricators Flatbed Gooseneck Hitch # 3375613500.

I have cut out and added below the section of the instructions for the # 3375613500 which details how to install them. It may be difficult to read on the page, but what it says is that you'll measure 6-1/2 inches to the left and right of the center of the socket and drill four 9/16" holes. You'll then put the U-bolts in, put the springs on them, and secure them with the included 1/2" fasteners.
