I don't know why you would consider it dangerous to load the back of the trailer to bring the ball weight down to the car specs.
Because studies have shown that even at 5% ball loading with weight placed at the very rear to achieve that loading, that once the sway starts, it's hard to stop. Think pendulum.
The weight needs to be central, over the axles.
