Selenium Send Keys Timeout Headless

I have the following code to log-in to my grocery store's website, and it works perfectly when in the foreground but whenever I use the options.add_argument('headless'), it fails to find the username element. Can you send_keys and navigate websites in the background?

Error:

    element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//*[@id="logonId"]'))).send_keys('rcarmody09@yahoo.com')
  File "C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\selenium\webdriver\support\wait.py", line 80, in until
    raise TimeoutException(message, screen, stacktrace)

For headless browser you have to set the window size to fire on event. Because headless browser can't recognise where to click without window size.

options = selenium.webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('headless')
options.add_argument('window-size=1920x1080');
