I am 4’11” and just installed an Old Man Mountain Divide on my 49 Salsa Journeyer. It looks off to me, but maybe just because my bike is so small and the angles are strange.
I already contacted OMM support but thought I’d ask if there were any other short folks that can confirm rear racks just looks weird on their frames, or if you have general recommendations for small frames based on your set ups.

Although that is the default orientation, OMM themselves state that you can install it “back to front” if necessary.
It looks like the stays aren’t long enough to level the rack, so installing it the other way round might allow you to get it level.
You’ll probably want to reinstall the dropout attachments.
It does look a little low in the front. the struts look a little too short with how far down they are reaching for the mounting points
