A quick way to add a coloured box the footer with tikz:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyfoot{}
\lfoot[LE,LO]{\tikz{\node[white,outer sep=0pt,inner sep=10pt,fill=blue!70,text width=\dimexpr\textwidth-20pt\relax,align=left] at (0,0) {ABCDEFGHIJ 2020 1.3.4};}}
\setlength{\footskip}{30.44pt}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{\pagestyle{fancy}}
\begin{document}
text
\end{document}
or in rmarkdown:
---
title: "123"
output:
pdf_document:
keep_tex: true
classoption: svgnames
header-includes:
- \usepackage{tikz}
- \usepackage{fancyhdr}
- \pagestyle{fancy}
- \fancyhead{}
- \fancyfoot{}
- \lfoot[LE,LO]{\tikz{\node[white,outer sep=0pt,inner sep=10pt,fill=blue!70,text width=\dimexpr\textwidth-20pt\relax,align=left] at (0,0) {ABCDEFGHIJ 2020 1.3.4};}}
- \setlength{\footskip}{30.44pt}
- \fancypagestyle{plain}{\pagestyle{fancy}}

test
(The advantage of using tikz for this job is that adjusting the padding around the text gets really easy)
You could use LaTeX code. Here is an example:
---
title: "Untitled"
author: "bttomio"
date: "5/1/2021"
output: pdf_document
header-includes:
- \usepackage{xcolor}
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```
## R Markdown
