Rotational hitch and Ford Backup system

I have a Jayco 5th wheel 28.5rsts and a Ford F250 2022 The hitch on the trailer is a Curt Turning Point and I have not "unlocked" it yet. The truck is equipped with a Ford trailer backup system which I have yet to use. Has anyone used their Ford backup system with a rotational hitch and if so any advice on where to attach the sensor box? All indications on installation I can find show it has to be attached to a solid non moving part of the trailer hitch

I dont get the benefit of that system...if you have to turn the knob why not just turn the steering wheel?

“Keeping a truck lined up with its trailer while moving in reverse is challenging because it involves two vehicles going in opposite directions from one another. In many cases, the effort takes the help of a second person on the ground to help guide the trailer backward. Even then, it can take several attempts to get it right. Ford's Pro Trailer Backup Assist reduces human error and eliminates the need for a second set of eyes to back a trailer into a campsite, onto a boat ramp, or into virtually any parking spot.”

The vehicle screen gives a guide and view of the sides and the spot you are going to and allows more precise and controlled movements, the knob is more easy to control the vehicle

After watching this video I would really like to see this used in a RV park...mostly because in order to get in you will have to be in the yellow zone or even red zone at times.
