Reese ball mounts can fit Curt hitches without an issue. What you attached a picture of looks normal. There sometimes can be play sometimes between the shank of the ball mount and the hitch though which can be removed with an anti-rattle device. We have the hitch lock/anti-rattle device part # 63232 which would work well.
