2018 T@b 320s towed with 2018 Toyota Highlander with factory tow pkg. The spare is mounted under the t@b and low enough that it scrapes when I back into my driveway. My question is…if I can figure out how to mount the spare to sit across the trailer tongue (in front of custom cargo box) will the angle of the tongue change? Because now, both the tire and the hitch scrape on the drive incline. I dread that portion of any journey.
Thank you for any advice.

Most folks mount the spare at the front Tongue Jack location.
It is easy to do:

What @MuttonChops shows in red (in our case) are a pair of muffler clamps.
Edit - just found that our "donut" car spare tire came from a 2007 Chevy Equinox . Was a direct bolt on to the T@B lug nut spacing , and it fit on the spare tire mount spot without too much trouble if I recall .

My 320S was a non-boondock, so wheels/tires were 14".
I assume you don't have a foot plate or wheel attached to the jack post when towing/backing up to give more clearance?
I had to back into the driveway at an angle before straightening out to get the 320 into the garage. It was a standard 20' driveway which meant a lot of back and forth to get the trailer into position once I was over the hump. (I was parking on the right side of the garage but backing in from passenger side blind).
