Sideways pic is okay. If you click on it after opening it rotates upright.
I installed the same receiver last year. While in Goshen last summer I took the cross member off and had two additional 2” sockets welded on. Three 2” sockets really stabilizes the lot.
Will, did you leave the Lippert hitch brackets on, it’s hard to tell from the picture. I left the Lippert hitch brackets on.

Do you plan to tow something behind the 5er or simply a bike rack?
That Curt hitch is rated at 500 lbs. The hitch kit comes with its own brackets that has nothing to do with the Lippert from the factory brackets. The hitch can be bolted or welded on. I carried an electric wheel chair 5,000 miles with no problem from the hitch, but the chair platform was not strong enough. I had two more 2” receivers sockets welded onto the hitch cross bar.
