Expert Reply:
The jaws of fifth wheel hitches like your Husky are not adjustable. Best option if the movement and "chucking" is too much is going to be to go with a hitch that has a tighter jaw clearances like the B and W Patriot # BWRVK3255 for a fixed hitch or part # BWRVK3270 for a slider hitch.
