Only my opinion: Don't put too much faith into the sway control aspect of these hitches, including Reese. I think a lot of marketing makes it appear to be more effective. Yes, friction exists, but is that friction more or less negligible compared to the forces produced by a swaying trailer? Maybe. I'm sure that heavier and longer trailers produce greater forces than shorter, lighter trailers.
I have the Equal-i-zer hitch. Assuming you have the L-bracket set at the maximum distance from the hitch ball, try moving the L-bracket a little closer to the ball to see if the bar seats a little better.
On edit: Based on the angle of your hitch head, as you turn (or as the trailer sways - hopefully never) and depending on the terrain, those stiff bars are going to rotate on the L-bracket.
