Hello Mike,
Congrats on the new truck! Our etrailer Hard Tonneau Cover # e35DR is going to be a great fit for your 2025 Ram 1500 with 5'7" bed. The brackets are actually supposed to be installed near the cab of the truck. There are 6 clamps total, and that is the clamp that you see near the tailgate. I included an image of the bracket during the install, he folded down the cover and climbed inside the truck bed so he could lift the cover at the cab to get the pieces into the bracket, it is much easier to lift and do so without all the weight of the tonneau cover. I also included an image from the instructions where you will see the bracket where it says "fits with the front end," the front end is actually the cab of the truck. I attached a video of the install so you can take a closer look.
Once you get the cover all set up please let me know how you like it.
