I reckon they are hookless compatible.

_Hookless rims in particular place high demands on tubeless tires for safe operation. The Schwalbe TLR/TLE models (from model year 2020) are designed to meet these special requirements, especially in the bead core area, and are therefore generally compatible._

Anyway some tyres are just harder to seat. I haven’t had a non hookless compatible tubeless tyre since the old GP 5k TL.
