Pannier Bag Help

Options
I have a ETC rack on my bicycle and recently decided to make use of it and get a pannier bag. Sounds simple enough but the lower clip of the bag doesn't line up with anywhere suitable on the rack :( Perhaps I was being naive to expect these things to be universal fit!

The rack:

The bag:

The lower clip ends up being exactly where the horizontal and vertical tubes on the rack intercept at a bracket so it is too thick for the clip to fit round. The clip can only move horizontally so I can't put it lower to attach onto the tube going to bike frame. I had thought about just removing the bottom clip as it is mainly just for security than taking weight but the bag is clearly designed to have the clip to stop it sliding from side to side or banging against the rack if you wobble.

Does anyone know of a similar bag that would fit this set-up or do I need to get a different rack? Seems a bit strange for a rack to not take a pannier bag - the whole point of the rack surely!
