Hey Ed.
I'm struggling to see how you could modify the etrailer Bolt-On Swivel Mounting Plate for jacks # e52JR to work with your round tube frame. I guess it could be done but might not be the best fit. I think you'd have better luck using something like Pipe Mount Swivel Style Trailer Jack with Foot - Sidewind - 10" Travel - 2,000 lbs # DL22685 which comes with a mount that would be easier to shape to your round frame and weld it on.
Do you not have a hole in the middle of the tongue to mount a standard 3 bolt jack like # TJA-5000S-B ?

I don't know the diameter of your round frame section, and without seeing the trailer, I might try something like this- weld some large angle to the bottom of the jack plate so it holds you round tube in a "cradle". Since the main stress on the plate is lifting the trailer, and the steel holding the round tube in a "cradle", how you mount the plate becomes less critical. You will need to be aware however, of galvanic corrosion if you have dissimilar materials, i.e. aluminum in direct contact with steel, steel bolts into aluminum etc.

The trailer is from 1957 foot about hill aluminum boat of the same vintage. So no modern amenities. I can’t weld which odd why I’m looking for a bolt on solution
