I had a issue similar to yours with the angle of my front rack on my 30 year old mountain bike. I ended up extending the lower mounts out by adding a short length of metal.
Yep, Kindergarten this year (and hopefully next!)
Older pic. Solved problem by going to an axiom low rider, putting the axioms up front, and the blackburns in the back.
