I would get a tape measure out and make sure the distance from the center of the ball to the front of the frame brackets are even. They should be 25-1/2" if I remember correctly.

Yes, 25.5 inches. When the dealership installed the snap up brackets they didn't move the propane tank and just put the brackets as far forward as they could. This left the chains at around 20 degrees from being plumb. I called Hensley and asked about the angle on the chains and they said thats to much angle. They also said I could cheat the brackets forward to around 25" if I needed to so that's what I did. I removed the propane tray and moved the brackets forward and then remounted the propane tray.
But even before that the head was square to the tongue.
