Thanks for reaching out, Rick.
I wouldn't be able to encourage modifying the B&W trailer hitch part # BW97BR. It wouldn't be safe or functional to do so. What are you using the hitch for? Do you have concerns with ground clearance with a bike rack or other hitch mounted accessory? Let me know and I can look into alternate solution for you.
Another option you could you could do would be to get a universal hitch like part # 15902 and take it to a local fab shop and have them retro fit a hitch so it sits where you want it to sit.
