so I very much enjoy 'McGivering', do it all the time to my motos and backpacks...
so, you could put some sort of 'stop' on each rail, to prevent the bag/strap from sliding down the rail.
could be some plastic collar OR simplest, easiest and would likely last a long time - Duct Tape.
so, I did a quick example on a saddle I had laying around - several wraps of Duct tape on each rail, at a position which holds the bag strap above the 'stop'
my example is only a few wraps, my estimate a few more would give enough 'height' to prevent the strap from sliding over the stop.
I would also use black duct tape - i used silver and magic-markered the tape for visibility...

Saddle rail stop - using Duct Tape
I expect the width would only need to be 1/4 - 3/8 wide, and the 'height' maybe 1/8 ?
easiest done with saddle off, but patience would work without removing the saddle ... easy enough to mark the rail, when the bag is in proper position...
ymmv...
Ride On
