Installing a brand new chain, cassette, freehub- the whole deal (Rival AXS). The chain is rubbing against the dropout as pictured, to the point of almost completely disallowing the chain to move. What could cause this? Am I missing a space somewhere?

Incorrect end cap.
Take the wheel off and post some pictures of the cassette and end caps
Is the cassette tightened all the way on? If it’s not fully tightened onto the hub it would sit further out. If it’s not that, it could be an endcap issue
Do you have an [XD or XDR freehub body](https://www.sram.com/en/service/articles/sram-xd-and-xdr-driver-body-explained) on those wheels? SRAM road 12sp requires an XDR freehub body, versus the XD for Eagle 12sp (and older XX 11spd). *Technically* an XDR cassette can fit an XD freehub body (read: will thread and tighten on) but will sit too far out, which can result in this same issue that you’re having.
