Can Posi Lock Coupler Style be Tightened to Ball

Question:

Hello, I have attached to the camper to the trucks 2-5/16inch ball with the posi-lock style coupler, locked it down and lifted the camper so that it begins to lift the truck up. I see and feel movement that seems like the coupler wants to come off the ball, but it stops moving at and begins to lift the truck as you would expect with a good connection. That movement worries me and it seems more difficult to visually, or by feel, confirm the lock tab is properly in place under the ball than with my standard coupler on my boat trailer. Thank you!

There is a nut on the underside of the coupler latch of your Posi-Lock style coupler that will allow you to tighten the mechanism to the ball so that you can remove that movement.
