I do a lot of mods on different things, and, for me, I have to look at the problem while I think about the different solutions.
I am not smart enough to read what you wrote and figure it out. lololol
Post a few photos, the more the better, and who knows what the answer might be.

I have saddle bag stays & it mounts at the fender rail.I use a heavy rubber washer between the stays and the fender rail to minimize vibration to the bag and to protect the rail.I have to tighten them down after a few weeks worth of riding as they tend to work loose from the vibrations

Have you thought about the saddle bag stiffeners that go on the inside of the bags. They might provide the stability you need to secure the bags firmly on the bike again. Kuryakn sales them I believe. good luck

I don't need to stiffeners as the bags are hard bags covered in leather. SilverSportster I will take some pictures so you can get a better idea of what I'm talking about. They are actually made for another manufacturer of bike but they also were a gift and they are big and they lock. I'm sure there is a way to minimize the vibration. Really need them for my long rides. OK...maybe not need, just want. You know how us women are.

Attach a rigid backing to your saddlebags to create a flat surface for secure mounting. This reduces vibration and prevents shifting. Consider custom brackets or consult a professional for tailored Drift Hunters solutions.
