5th Wheel Turning Point or Pivot Point

Question

I have a question and it may be a dumb one. I have a 5th wheel and it's a Lippert Turning point on the front of the RV. I just put it into a seasonal spot so it won't be moved for a long time. The turning point or Pivot point is is at an angle. Is there a way to straighten it out so my OCD doesn't get the best of me?

I just got this last year in October and it's a Cherokee Arctic Wolf 2019. I tried to but didn't budge bit when towing it does move.

I was looking at new 5th wheels and see that Forest River is adding the turning point hitches to their trailers. It seems as though they are also not putting the radius front end on their trailers anymore. That may cut out the use of short bed trucks if you don't want to use the turning point hitch. Not sure what I think about that hitch yet.
