... the instructions suggested just mounting the kick sensor two inches higher than where it was originally. I ended up doing that and it works! I just kick to the right of the Torklift and rear hatch opens and closes as it should.

Sounds like updated instructions from Torklift.

I know you just finished, but the kick sensor doesn't trigger if you walk up to the back of the van? I eyeballed re-installing it just like you have it but was worried about setting it off if walking past the rear bumper.

If it doesn't get triggered from behind, definitely a simpler way to reinstall versus folding it in half or hacking up the bracket and pulling the wires tight.
 
Yeah, I went in assuming some interference but I’m more curious what the beeps are trying to tell me.
Mine does the extra two beeps after unlatching the hatch if it still detects my foot under there. There's a fine balance it looks for seeing a foot moving under there then having the foot owner be out of the way.
