Sometimes the instructions can be a little confusing when it comes to roof racks and I know exactly where you are coming from because I had the same thought the first time I installed a Thule roof rack.

The parts shown in the "A" section on the instructions (which I've attached a cutout of) are actually in the box with the (discontinued) Rapid Podium Feet TH460R. On the other side of things, anything marked as "B" in the instructions for the feet would be referring to what comes with the fit kit # THKIT3134 for your 2016 Toyota Highlander.

The instructions for the crossbars, like part # TH711420, should just show how to put the different pieces for only the crossbar in place since crossbars can be used in a wide variety of ways and on different vehicles.
