^This, looks like not enough tilt on the head, add a few degrees of tilt. you may have to use the jack to unload the hitch so you can get enough working links on your chain brackets. Looks like you are out of room on your chain brackets anyway so welded or not its what you have
The Reese Strait Line is one of the best WD kits for sway when adjusted correctly. It is an active setup, that returns to the trailer to the "straight" configuration you initially set it up in when acted upon by sway


FYI, don't know exactly what trailer you have but that is a lot of trailer for the F150, try to get the rig a little more level(with WD adjustments)

I agree that the head could be tilted back a bit and that would lower the bars and allow more links. I had this same setup and it worked great.

For those asking, the bar ends have a curve in them that fits on the cams. That's what provide the sway control. With pressure on the bars, it will resist coming out of the cams and keep the trailer straight. I think it is a superior system because it actively works to keep the trailer in place.
