I fulltime in a trailer with a Propride. We move about every 4 days. I have no issues hooking up or unhooking. Angles don't matter, just make sure your straight with the hitch and back right in. I think the Hensley stinger is a substandard construction and it causes some people grief.
When I get unhitch, I raise tongue jack to about where I think the truck would sit unloaded. I then back off the screw jacks until the WD bars are loose. I then look at the top of the stinger in the receiver and I raise or lower the tongue jack until I see the stinger move in the receiver. Then pull truck forward. Works everytime.
Hitching up my 10yr old son adjusts tongue jack while I back in. Takes all of 15 seconds to get it right.
