I recommend checking out the Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate with Lock # VGM-14-4000 for your 2016 GMC Sierra 2500. This doesn't have the normal handle that you use to open up the tailgate so there aren't any provisions for your camera but it is made of a tough plastic so if you wanted to try to drill something out to make it work that would be something on your end.
The other 5th wheel tailgate options we carry don't have locks so this is your best bet. I've attached a photo as well as a video of this installed on the same vehicle you have.
