Hi, thanks for offer of help. Part/model number matches.
Instructions say that DS plate goes inside tie down, PS plate goes outside tie down.
(I tried to see if DS could go outside tie down, but plate on hitch is too tall)
Here are photos (I hope the labels survived upload):
Gap on PS is about 1/2 inch. Kit comes with 1/4 inch spacer for that gap.
Let me know if I can explain any better.

Just got off the phone with Reese. They confirmed the dimension of the hitch according to their specs
Their suggestion is to try to "adjust" the DS tie-down. This would move the whole hitch towards the DS. It is true that this also would centre it slightly better (currently offset to PS by about 3/8 inch.
(I have looked at the DS tie-down and it does not show any signs of having been tweaked; either does the PS tie down.)
Given that the tie downs are L-shaped and welded in two dimensions, it is realistic to hope to move it enough?
