Like already mentioned, invest on a slider. Go to a wrecking yard.

you don't need to get a new fifth wheel move the fifth wheel back to center if that is what will work most of the holes will line up you may need to drill 2 to 3 holes on each side using carbide tiped hole cutters easy to do with a hand drill and use the holes in fifth wheel flange as your pattern.

Okay and also some suggested to me move it back without drilling holes it will just leave 2 holes empty back of the 5th wheel frame

I have a fixed 5th wheel also, on a 2013 freightliner pulling containers. My 5th wheel pivot point is set exactly between the drives and I’ve never had an issue with catching my frame with 40 or 20 footers. Also surprisingly my steer weights consistently hover around 12000 fully loaded with it set right there.
