Hi, I can relate to your frustration. I recently bought used Carradice Super C panniers and on closer inspection discovered to my amazement that it had the most poorly thought-through bottom bracket fixing mechanism with a hook 'system' that couldn't even swivel around to adapt to various racks. So it fits one rack, but not the others. I mean, it's hardly rocket science! Anyway, I nevertheless subsequently bought a new Super C pair because it has a swivel hook now, and because I like the Super C saddlebags...but in future I intend to go custom, either or both with this http://www.timtas.nl or with this forum's own user71349 - bags (made by me) thread.
Anyway, about your issue, could the problem lie with your bag and not the rack? Even that link I used in my first reply contains pros and cons of different very established brands. If you have not bent the rack yet and no longer want it, then I would potentially buy it off you.

Yeah, that all figures, except in this instance the bag I have has a really tight tombstone sleeve and the velcro straps on the base can't be done tight enough to stop the bag being pulled back by the tombstone.
I can't believe i have let myself get sucked in by big rando and all this bullshit again.
