I have basically the same set up with my 09 tundra and trail-lite trailer.The tailgate would just hit the top of the light on the jack.
I turned the jack 180 degrees and got a 3 inch clearance.
It was just a matter of drilling 3 new holes in the jack base and reusing the threaded holes in the A frame.
I didnt consider it at the time but it may be possible to turn just the head of the jack.
