Since your 2022 Toyota RAV4 does not have raised roof rails and instead most likely has flush rails which are just slightly raised "bumps that run from front to back you could use the Thule Wingbar Evo Edge # TH89FE, # TH49SC, and # TH78RE

An option to convert your roof to having raised rails is not available.
