Welcome back, Thomas!
The Anti-Rattle Hitch Lock for Kuat Transfer Bike Racks - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HLT actually will not fit the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU64FR, so I think that may be the issue you are running into. It can only be used with racks that were manufactured before 2021.
To lock the Transfer V2 onto a hitch, you will want something like the TowSmart Hitch Receiver Locking Pin w/Cap - 1/2" and 5/8" Diameter # TS24VR. You should not be using a threaded pin with the rack you have.
What kind of bikes are you carrying? And have you tried a standard hitch pin?

I have a Kuat hitch pin with a lock and key, similar to the one in the photo you provided. Unfortunately that provides zero security. I bought the one that I inquired about because it was a bit more heavy duty and was threaded.
