I wish there was such an adapter, but there is not any sort of adapter to allow a trailer jack like the Fulton F2 # F1413140334 you purchased to be bolted on to your trailer frame since it is 6" tall.

Your only option will be drilling holes and directly bolting the jack to the frame, though you will want to check with the manufacturer of your trailer first as drilling holes may void the frame warranty of your trailer.

I included a video of the # F1413140334 for you to take a look at.
