On the CRV, which is probably similar, I put a piece of 2 x 6 against
the chassis 1/2 way between the jack points, but in, under the car, not
on the plastic trim. I mean the square tubular steel part, about a foot
or more under.

Bear in mind that you mustn't tighten your lug nuts beyond ~ 80
foot-pounds, so you only get to have half the fun, unless you also have
on of them fancy torque-limiting socket attachment$.
