I have the same issue with my rough stuff special longflap super c - I think the issue is using saddle loops vs bagman. The bagman clips sit lower than saddle loops would. That’s the best I can come up with anyway.
You seem to have identified the problem being the low mounts of the QR Bagman. The solution with these larger saddlebags would appear to be to use the non-QR version of the Bagman that attaches to the saddle loops, which are higher (perhaps the non-qr mounting block can be purchased separately from Carradice and used with your existing steel hoop?). In the absence of built-in saddle loops, the add-on Cyclo saddle loops should work here.

That’s the best I can come up with anyway. It’s a bit annoying, emailed Carradice they didn’t know why. Doesn’t seem to be a functional problem though
