It was High hitched.

You did the pull test and stated you walked around visually inspecting things before departure.

But. Did you go behind the truck and look at the kingpin and jaws with a flashlight .

I’ve also been towing for many years.. well over 45 and high hitched once.

I now make sure the pin box is set low enough so that when I back onto it the fifth wheel hitch plates ride on the bottom of that king pin plate.

Can a Patriot hitch be high hitched? I can’t measure but this pic seems to show enough room that it would
