The complete installation instructions for the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution Hitch # RP66074 are attached for your reference. While these do provide complete adjustment instructions for the hitch head angle the chart you referred to (from page 2 of the instructions) is also provided in the linked photo.

You might refer to the linked video as well.
