Using rubber between hitch and bed is not the best idea, especially with single point attachment. The rubber will allow more flex than a solid steel to steel install. I would expect any chucking issues to be amplified as well, with hitch mounted to rubber.
Don't know about Andersen's install instructions, but do know that B&W says no bed mats between.

Andersen provided me the rubber mat because the hitch was wearing the spray in bed liner. When I say "wearing" I mean more like smashing the texture.
My understanding was that MOST sprayed bed liners were OK, to set hitch on, after drying period of course. I would rather have texture crushed, than to have bed dents, but that's just me.
Hope you get it figured out,

Personally, I am not a fan of any brand single point hitch attachment, but many are happy with it.
