Headache Rack sensor blockage

Hello, I have a 20 f450 crew cab Platinum and I was planning on making a headache rack for the truck (which I normally do) but this truck has so many cameras and sensors esp since its pretty loaded, its got me concerned about sensor/camera blockage. I know about the camera in the 3rd brake light area (which I can work around) but I was worried about the two black plastic projections on the top rear of the cab one on each side above the rear window. Does anyone know if these are rear facing sensors? and/or are there any other things that could be blocked I need to be worried about?

Briefly talked about here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...er-duties.html

TFL also mentions them at the 9:00 time point here

Seems to be the satellite antennas and not any type of sensors you need to be worried about.
