Does Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Fit 2022 Chevy Equinox with Active Grille Shutters

Question

Question:

I found this on your site: Base Plates, Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM-523193-5. This fits all trim levels WITHOUT lower active grill shutters. Also Roadmasters website indicates No lower shutters. What base plate can I use on my 2022 Chevy Equinox LS, which DOES HAVE lower active grill shutters.
