We have yet to have any complaints about Curt trailer hitch # C12172 interfering with the hands-free hatch on your 2018 Lexus NX 300.

I have a solution for you, but the Swagman XTC 2 Tilt # S64671 will not fold up towards the vehicle when not in use, so it's not going to provide you with the solution you're seeking.
