I didn't see an order number with your email tied to it but I would be happy to help you and if you don't like my response please feel free to email me directly with some more information about what you are looking for.
If you are wanting to install the B&W Companion 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch item # BWRVK3500-5W in your 2012 Ram 3500 you will need the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch item # BWGNRK1313. This kit is custom fit and will provide you with a square gooseneck receiver. The Companion you were looking at requires this gooseneck hitch to work with your truck. It won't attach to 5th wheel base rails. For that you'll need the B&W Patriot item # BWRVK3255.
I have linked installation videos below for all three of these parts. If you have any additional questions or concerns go ahead and send me an email with them.
