Your Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Rooftop Cargo Box - 14 cu ft - Black # Y07192 requires 45 inches of front clearance from the front crossbar to the hatch seam where the roof and hatch meet if you want to be able to access your hatch without interference. It also requires a crossbar spread of 24-40 inches.
For the roof rack on a 2017 Toyota Prius C, I recommend the Rhino-Rack roof rack consisting of:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 41" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA106B-2
Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars Qty 4 # RRRLKVA
Custom DK Fit Kit for Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs # DK351
This combination will give you a crossbar spread of about 26-3/4 inches that will be compatible with your cargo box.
