The customer service representative you spoke to is correct.

We used to list the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13272 you were looking at as a fit for the 2017 Lexus RX 350 F-Sport, but after multiple fitment issues from customers we changed the fit in our system and do not recommend this hitch for the F-sport models as it may have fitment issues.

Instead I recommend going with the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 391LXRX16 if you are planning on using the trailer hitch receiver for only carrying a bike rack or cargo carrier, or the # 391LXRX16T if you plan on towing as it comes with the special ball mount required for this hitch, and the included wiring harness.

I included written instructions for both of the Stealth Hitches Receivers for you to take a look at.
