I should have noted in my OP that I have rotated the tongue jack 90 degrees. The length of my ATV requires that I have the tailgate down when loaded in the bed of my truck. Sorry for not including all the pertinent info in the OP.
Do you mean that you have rotated the jack (clockwise or counter clockwise) or rotated it as in pivoting it down until it's parallel to the ground? I'm assuming (yeah, I know....) that if it's still hitting the tailgate that it's still upright. If so I would suggest adding a new crossmember to your TT's A frame tongue and moving the jack back toards the camper body, should be able to move it far enough for the tailgate to have the needed clearence. I did a similar setup on my brother's enclosed racecar trailer a while back for his tailgate clearence, worked well.
