I am sorry but we do not recommend putting a roof top tent on a 2020 Toyota Corolla hatchback with a naked roof. The naked roof requires a roof rack and fit kit that will clamp on to the rood jambs. For Example the Rhino Rack Roof Rack # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA and # RR22FJ is for a 2020 Corolla and will clamp to the door jambs.
Rooftop tents can only be installed on raised side rails, flush side rails, or in fixed mounting points. Roof tents are not compatible with roof racks for naked roofs that clamp to door jambs. The door jamb clamps are not strong enough to support a tent.
You are also limited by the carrying capacity of your vehicles roof. In most cases the roof is not strong enough to hold a tent plus one or two people. Generally only the vehicles manufacturer will have that kind of info on roof capacity. We typically only recommend using tents on a truck bed ladder rack setup, or on vehicles with a reinforced roof structure.
