I’m not sure how you are finding the pin high in the hitch ? I would suggest you changing whatever method you are using when backing up into that hitch , I’ve heard people lowering their fifth wheel into the hitch ,😳 There’s no way you can have what you are saying if you back the truck up to the hitch , then adjust the height where the plate of the king pin is just slightly lower than the hitch , so you slide up , and on the hitch , making it impossible to be seeing what you are stating , and having to reposition.
