For your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek with raised factory rails, you need to have a crossbar system that allows for at least 4 inches of crossbar space after the feet of the setup in order for the Thule Hullavator # TH898 to function. For a great setup that allows you to use the Hullavator, I recommend the Curt Roof Rack # C18118.
With this system, you get the benefits of an extremely aerodynamic setup that ultimately leads to a quieter ride and increased fuel efficiency. Since the top channels are designed to use with T-slot products, you have the option of attaching the Hullavator via a channel mount as well as a clamp-on mount.
I looked at the specs on your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek and compared it to an install we did on a 2019 Crosstrek. The install we did with this system on a 2019 definitely gives you the 4 inches past the feet that are required to use the Hullavator. Since the vehicle width of the 2019 model is the exact same as your 2022 model, you will have enough crossbar length on your vehicle to use the Hullavator. I went ahead and attached the video of the install we did on the 2019 Crosstrek to give you perspective about the fitment on your model.
