Question:
Pulling 42ft 5th Wheel using the Anderson Goose Neck Hitch I notice the fifth wheel is leaning to the passenger side after adjusting the Anderson Hitch to the highest level. Any recommendations? Thank you

It's rather common for a camping trailer to lean to one side, it's likely the side with all your appliances and water tanks if I had to guess. In order to fix this I recommend some jounce bumpers like the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs, part # SS26MV for overslung or part # SS33HR for underslung which should fix or at least help the leaning issue you're having. They install easily with no drilling and will also help smooth out the ride.
