Installing a trailer hitch receiver on the 2020 Nissan Rogue such as as the Class III Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75902 or the Class III Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13204 will not affect all of the sensors for the rear hatch lift. It may block the center sensors but the sensors on each end of the bumper will still be functional.

The installation of both hitches are the same and they both have a concealed cross tube design. The only portion of the hitch that is visible once installed is the square receiver tube. However, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75902 for the 2020 Nissan Rogue because it does provide a bit more bumper clearance than the other options if you are going to be using a folding accessory like a bike rack or cargo carrier. I have attached an installation video for your reference.
