Hey David, great question!
The king pin on the Trailair Rota-Flex 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC328330 being angled down like that is perfectly normal - that's just it's natural resting state.
Since it pivots on the bottom of the pin box it will connect just fine with your 5th wheel hitch when you go to couple up to the trailer again.

Hey David, how did things go once you coupled the trailer with the Rota-Flex pin box? It’d be great to hear if the angle leveled out as expected when you hitched up. Your update could make it easier for others checking their setup.
