The Demco Recon Gooseneck-to-5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Adapter # DM8550045 referenced in your question uses a coupler at the base to securely attach to a standard 2-5/16 inch diameter gooseneck ball. Top and side coupler bolts hold it in place so that it doesn't move around on the bed or rock back and forth. I have attached an image from the install manual just so you can get a better picture of this.

The only thing you will want to check on your Blue Ox Diamond Hitch is the height of the hitch ball itself. The Recon isn't compatible with high-rise balls so you will need to make sure that the height from the truck bed to the top of your hitch ball is no more than 5 inches.

I have included a short video review on this hitch that you can check out as well.
