I do have an install video of the B&W Custom Installation Kit w/ Base Rails for 5th Wheel Trailer Hitches part # BWRVK2506 on a similar Chevrolet Silverado 2500 that you can reference but I don't have any tricks up my sleeve to help with installing the nut and washer.

That said, you might want to consider an outboard rail kit for the future like the Reese Quick-Install Custom Outboard Installation Kit part # RP56001-53 as these are much easier to install because the connection point for the rail and bracket is located outside the frame rail.
