I just did mine. Your codes should be P0456:00-64 and P0496:00-64. Its not a bad repair at all, totally doable even for someone who hasn't done much vehicle DIY. There's so many tutorials out there. Just look up the code or something like "2020 Ford Explorer replace evap". It's a very common problem since all it takes is someone topping off your fuel tank to get fuel into the manifold hose. The part should have the electrically controlled valve on one end and a "quick release" fitting on the other. Figure out how to release these before starting. I used a fuel line hose disconnect tool (small circular plastic ring) this time and it made a world of difference. A set is only about $20 on Amazon. Halfway down should be a hose fitting that's white plastic. I say this because I came across numerous mislabeled descriptions and incorrect photos on a couple of popular parts sites. Make sure you're getting the right thing. Also, I got the OEM part, not the plethora of knock-offs out there. Don't bother, there's posts all over where people got the half price "PRC/CCP special" off Amazon and ended up having to replace it again in a month or two. Part number is GL3Z-9B325-B. It's about $70 online, but I found a NOS one on ebay for $40. There's one on there now actually. Dealer will charge between $500 and $800 for the repair. You can do it in under 2 hours even if you're new to this for a whopping $50 to $75.
I did my plugs at the same time, so I took the A/C lines out to give me more room to maneuver my fat hands, but it's not necessary for only the EVAP. It's towards the rear of the engine (near firewall) and is easily visible without disassembling anything. I also printed the workshop manual instructions which were moderately helpful. My friend gave me the ALLdata instructions and they were better, much more detailed. Find yourself a YouTube tutorial video you like and the Ford workshop instructions, and get to work.
Edit: I've attached the relevant codes from one of my scans for reference.
