In order to mount two kayaks on a 2020 Subaru Outback you will need to haul them both on their side as this is the only way to be able to fit both on the factory roof rack. The best way to haul two kayaks on their side is with a j-style carrier as these are the most secure and easiest to load. I recommend the etrailer.com J-Style Kayak Carrier part # e98878. In order to haul both kayaks at the same time you will need two sets.
The etrailer.com J-Style Kayak Carrier comes with all the required tie-downs so you don't have to worry about any extra parts, it has padded uprights to protect the kayak's finish, and fold down while not in use. Also, unlike most other similar kayak carriers the etrailer.com J-Style Kayak Carrier comes with the anchor style bow and stern tie-downs. The etrailer.com J-Style Kayak Carrier will also work just fine with factory crossbars so there should be no worries here either.
I have attached a sample install video on a similar model year for you as well.
