Yes you can access the spare of the 2020 Toyota Highlander with the Curt hitch part # C99FR installed. If you check out the picture I attached you can see that the hitch and the spare installed at same time and there is plenty of clearance.

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

The Curt Hitch # C99FR will fit with the OEM spare on your 2020 Toyota Highlander, but if you swapped that out for an exact replacement to what you are using to drive right now then it won't fit because that is much larger.
