Hey Brian, thanks for the pictures. The etrailer Anti-Rattle Hitch Collar is not going to fit your Ascent's factory hitch. It's going to be a tight fit if you can even mount it with the chain hangers so close but the main issue is the side mounting pieces will block your hitch pin holes.
Are you planning on using the anti-rattle for a ball mount when towing or accessory like a bike rack? The Gen-Y Anti-Rattle Clamp for 2" Hitch Receivers item # GY88XR would definitely work and be a great option for both.
