From what I could find online it looks like the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490010 is compatible with the AEV roof rack on your 2017 Jeep JK Wrangler Rubicon, you just need to use the Adapter Kit # TH490001 to mount it on your roof rack.

The adapter kit comes with brackets that will wrap around the crossbars or T-Bolts that you slide into the T-Slots instead. Max crossbar dimensions are 1.4" tall x 3.5" wide (for the brackets) while the max T-Slot width is 0.8" (for the T-Bolts). I have attached a photo from the linked instructions to help point this out.

Since we don't carry the AEV roof rack you'll want to confirm your dimensions and make sure that they are within the specs for the HideAway Awning.
