I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster and he said that the Replacement Driver Side Arm C001477 will not fit your existing Roadmaster 1559-1 base plates. He said that the weldments for your particular base plate kit are no longer available so your only real option at this point is to replace the entire kit.
If you were to go with another Roadmaster Base Plate Kit like part # RM-521559-4, which is confirmed to fit your 2007 Honda CR-V, you would still need to add the Adapter # RM-032 to connect with your Blue Ox Tow Bar.
Since you are needing to replace your base plates anyway I recommend going with a Blue Ox setup that's directly compatible with your existing tow bar. For this the Blue Ox # BX2246 will work perfectly. It features hidden reinforcements and removable bracket arms to allow for a clean appearance on the CR-V when it's not being towed and it's made right here in the USA.
I have attached an installation video that you can use for reference.
