Is this a problem?

I've installed my Bontrager seat-post rack, finally, and put on my Arkel Tailrider trunk bag. It fit it perfectly before I put it on the bike.

You can see from the image that the trunk bag rises just slightly above the saddle, and protrudes just a bit beyond the end of the rack. Is this something to be concerned about? I can attach all 4 velcro straps...perhaps not the entire length of them but enough that it should be secure.

I won't be hauling much in this bag to work behind lunch and shoes. I will take my clothes in the day before. If I take to this then eventually (next year) I will have a dedicated commuter with a more traditional rack where those won't be a problem.

I did also try it "backwards", and it is a better fit. The velcro still doesn't reach well for straps at the end of the rack but it should be ok...
