Body mount on full-length passenger cars is iffy. The idea posted above about cutting out the sides of the box will help.
I prefer to mount the coupler in a length of rectangular brass tube and pivot the assembly about the inner end of the tube with a spring to center it(H/T B&O Joe). You can select the pivot point to suit. John Armstrong used something similar, but more complicated; his design pivoted on the truck pivot.
