The Thule Cargo Basket, part # TH859XT will fit the crossbars, but you will need to check the spread. Since the rack mounts to side-to-side bars on the bottom of the basket, it's not very easy to fit the rack to different positions.
The Thule Basket you're looking at fits bars that are spread between 20 inches and 37 inches on your crossbars. Since it sounds like you can change the mounting position, you can play with it a little bit to see if you can make a fit into that range. The Thule Canyon, part # TH859XT is probably has the most adjustable roof basket and would be your bet choice.
I've included videos of the Thule # TH859XT rack.
