For your 2019 Subaru WRX Sti with large factory spoiler I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 carrier # Y02634 or the 3-bike version # Y02633 because both are specifically designed to work with this vehicle feature.

Both of the FullBack racks include locks, have adjustable arms that can be moved to provide the best fit with your bikes' frames and both install using only 4 straps, instead of the more typical 6 mounting straps found on most other trunk-mount racks. You can refer to the linked video to see the FulBack 3 installed on a Subaru.

If you should have a bike whose frame design does not fit satisfactorily on the rack you can simply add an adapter bar like the Yakima Tube Top # Y02531. These provide a straight tube to mate with the carrier's arms in cases where the bike frame does not match well.

It is always a good idea to make sure that both the car and the bike rack surfaces are clean and free of grit and dirt that could cause scratching of the car's painted finish.
