Thanks, I may shorten them too.
I'm not sure they're meant to be shaped like this to keep the panniers upright, I've got the problem on the large rear panniers, which I had second hand and came like this, but my front ones I bought new and these came flat (and have more or less remained flat).
Will report if I attempt heat to flatten (as well as shortening as you suggested)

@veLLo
I saw your photo of that plastic stiffener thing all bent outwards. I had the same with some bags (Large/rear Super Cs I think it was). My feeling was that they were shaped like that with some excess near the bottom in an attempt to make them stand up when put on the floor, perhaps? The plastic flap always felt had an inch too long, and were getting tangled in rack/mech cabling/ whatever. So I sliced off a strip with a sharp knife. I haven't missed that excess plastic so far.
