Anyone installed "valley" rails for a 5th wheel?

ok i am getting pretty annoyed right now. here's that part that i need clarified is that the directions say that i need to install the "rear base rail 32-1/2" from the rear edge of the bed" what i don't know is if they mean the center of the rail of the rear edge. if i install 32-1/2 to the center of the rail then the bolt has to go right through one of the support rails on the bottom of the bed.
here's the part that i really can't understand my wife's grandfather used to have a 5th wheel hitch in the truck and i can't find ANY holes on the underside of the bed!!!!!! please someone help me!

ok so i am a little calmed down now. there are 2 different kinds of brackets two of them are straight L-shaped brackets and two of them are more diagonal, the diagonal ones just won't work on this truck, so i will have to have them swapped so i have 4 of the L-shaped ones. GRRRR, i hate when it doesn't go smoothly.

edit: wanna, if you need/want to move this to the hauling section that's cool, i see you've been moving a lot of stuff lately
