Expert Reply:
No, the base of the B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Hitch for Ford Super Duty Prep Package # BWRVK3305 was only designed to face one way. You will need to remove the pivot arms and change their placement to gain the clearance you're needing.
I've attached some helpful guides below to assist you in the placement of your pivot arms.
