Default Pro trailer backup

I'm using a Atwood receiver on a 2016 Lance travel trailer. The instructions for Pro trailer backup target sticker says place the complete target decal on receiver. Atwood, is one of the most common travel trailer receivers, only has 4 inches between the bolts. The pro trailer backup sticker is about five and a half inches. I called Ford and apparently they have no number for technical assistance. Maybe one of you folks have experienced this and can help me out.

what I did was place 4 strong magnets on the frame, put the sticker on a piece of flat bar and stuck it to the magnets. They need to be neodymium magnets- I happened to have a bunch of them

I just stuck mine on over the bolt on my trailer. Works fine. It's not flat but oh well

All I did was paint the bolt head white and black...cut a bolt head hex out of the sticker at the correct location.. slipped the sticker over the bolt and bam... works like a champ!
