Mine has the same issue....I haven't spent the time to see if the hose is clogged or disconnected... I don't know where to even look.

Rear is fed by the reservoir on the front/right side of car. Front left is for headlamp washer if applicable. There’s only a single pump which can pump in both directions for both front and rear washing. It reverses polarity depending on where you choose to wash.
Assuming there’s washer fluid in the reservoir, then yes, a clogged nozzle is a possibility. It’s a fairly common issue remedied by removing the rear wiper arm and inserting (with fingers) a drill bit (3/32” maybe, 1/16”? I forget... the biggest that will fit into the hole) into the metal fluid outlet fitting and spinning clockwise (again, with fingers) to clear the clog.

Did you verify that no washer fluid was coming out? From the drivers seat I saw no washer fluid was squirting on the window but I heard the pump run and knew the reservoir was full. Upon further investigation I found the rear nozzle was not lined up properly. It was squirting into the under side of the wiper blade arm cover. Pulling it out a bit and realigning it fixed the problem.
