Your hitch setup looks pretty good to me. Not all trunnion bars will point down when drawn up by the chains but many do. You have plenty of clearance for the chains to move forward and backwards and also plenty of clearance at the front of the A frame/bars intersection (helped by the high rise ball). As long as you are getting the WD you need and are not getting any sway or loss of control feelings while driving, I would not change anything.
It is also not unusual for the hitch setup to remain the same when changing tow vehicles. As long as the distance from receiver to ground is the same as before, and the loading on the trailer is the same, there should be no reason to change the hitch setup. If the back end of the truck rises too much without the quads and the 6 links, then I would just increase the number of links under tension to 7 or 8 to reduce the WD.
