While the hitch head itself can pivot freely left and right when hitching, as long as the opening is reasonably well aligned with the stinger on the truck when backing in, it should give few issues. Meaning, if your truck is at an angle, it should be at the same angle, etc.
But, the tail of the yoke (under the front of the A frame pointed to the back of the trailer) should not have any right/left play in it. You'll see it resting on top of a cross bolt with a roller that allows it to move front to back. Tighten the cross bolt, to the point there is no room for the yoke tail to move side-to-side. Do not tighten more than that, though.
