The RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack - 2" Hitches # RKY10004 should be able to tilt down enough for the rear door to be opened on your 2020 Lexus RX 350. We have not tested this on your vehicle so I can't say with absolute certainty, but you can see in the attached video that it does give full access to the trunk on a similarly sized SUV (You can click on the other demonstration videos we have which show the trunk being accessed on various SUV's with this rack).

Most vehicles now days have parking sensors that sense a bike rack since bike racks are installed so close to the bumper. There is not really a way around this, but you could temporarily turn off your rear sensors when using the bike rack; I have to do this every time I back my trailer up with my truck since the trailer sets off the sensors.
