The Thule Hullavator Pro, part # TH898, requires some amount of the crossbar to extend past the feet. It needs to be between 4" and 8". The factory crossbars on your 2019 Mazda CX-5 don't seem to have this extension.

Instead, I recommend using the Malone SeaWing with Load Assist, part # MPG113MD. It's a rear-loading carrier as opposed to the side-loading Hullavator. It doesn't have the gas struts, but it greatly eases the burden of lifting the kayak.

I've linked to a video review of it below.
