In order to install the power wire on a custom wiring harness like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56434 on your 2021 Toyota RAV4, you can route the wire (typically black) under the vehicle, through the frame under the vehicle, or through the inside of the vehicle.
If you choose to go under the vehicle, you will simply follow along an existing factory wiring harness or the frame rail toward the front of the vehicle or to where the battery is located.
If you choose to route the wire through the frame, start at the front of the vehicle and use a long, straight, rigid item, such as a bolt leader or fish wire, and push it through the frame from the front to the back.
If you go through the inside of the vehicle, the easiest way is to (a) to run the wire on the driver's side above the doors or under the doors and (b) possibly even routing the wire under the door jambs.
I went ahead and linked a video of the complete installation process of the 4-way to this answer.
