Have installed the Ortlieb Quick Rack on my Cannondale Topstone and I've never been able to align in straight. Has not been an issue until now but I want to mount my Garmin Varia to the back and it will now be relevant! Any ideas why the rack is so slanted and is there a fix?
Also, does anyone know the best way to mount a varia to the back side of the rack?
Thanks in advance!

Should share pics of the mounts. You could be screwed in not matching holes, not be fully seated, not even be on a mount. Take packs of and share more pictures. I have this mount and put on different bikes never had this issues, so would say seeing the mounts would be very helpful in determining the issue.
My first thought was you had it mounted to the fender eyelet on one side and the rack eyelet on the other, but it looks like the topstone only has one eyelet either side. Only other reason I can think of is it’s bent. How does it look when you take it off and eyeball the alignment side to side?
Edit: another look it seems there are two eyelets per side, one on the seat stay and one by the dropout. Check you are using the same on both sides.
Also a quick Google search will give you a variety of Garmin Varia track mounts.
