Question:
I am installing my Curt C16521 5th wheel hitch and need to know what are the measurements that I need to install my base rails C16411-204 in the short bed of my 2015 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab? Thank you

The back edge of the front most rail would be 47-1/2 inches forward of the rear edge of the truck bed (not the tailgate) for a short bed truck or 52-3/8 inches on long bed trucks. You can see these measurements in the diagram I grabbed from page 2 of the installation instructions. You can see the instructions by clicking the provided link.
If you don't already have a 7-way trailer connector installed in the truck bed, you can install one using part # 41157.
I've linked you to install videos for the # C16411-204 and the # 41157 wiring harness.
