You do not need to do anything as your towball does not have a back plate like (say) a witter. It is the back plate that can cause the bother.

I have the same car and swan neck works fine with alko stabiliser.

The reason you need an extended neck towball with the alko is to prevent the underside of the huge hitch head resting on the towbar frame or backplate, possibly causing the caravan to break away. Your detatchable towball wont have a backplate, and I'd imagine your towball neck is long enough to prevent the hitch fouling any part of your car.
