To hook up your Henley/ PP totally loosen the jacks so that the hitch box wiggles a bit.
Paint the box a bright color, paint the end of the stinger a bright color.
Use a mirror or camera when backing.
If on pitched or unlevel ground Tighten up the jacks slightly in necessary to tilt the hitch box(target) as required.
Hitch helper is a good gadget to use when your starting out.
Try to have TV wheels straight as stinger approaches hitch box. Do not approach at an angle. Back up to box in strait line.
