The etrailer hitch part # e98844 is a confirmed fit for your Highlander since your spare is steel. The magnet test you performed proves it is steel since it wouldn't stick to aluminum. The aluminum wheel spare is just too wide which is why they don't fit.

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out.
