Sometimes you have to make adjustments.
Center line of King Pin can be 2" forward, directly over or even 2" behind center-line of rear axle
Heck I've even seen where king pin was 4" forward of rear axle
Just make sure hitch is centered, rails are squared and bolted down to/thru/onto frame.
Reason for supporting on jacks stands is because of removing wheels so that you have room/access to frame and install brackets/bolts/nuts etc.
