Pictures of bike here. Rack here The only thing I appear to be able to mount to would be to the quick release wheel skewer directly and that doesn't seem correct. I also have no holes in my seat stays but I did buy a seat post clamp with rack mounts for that attachment point. Or do I need to get a post rack?

Yeah, you don’t have the mounting lugs on your dropout. There are racks that clamp to your seat stay instead of bolting to a lug on the frame. I have never used one of those, but I would be more comfortable with that than the seat post clamped rack. If you have any meaningful weight on that rack and hit a good bump, that is going to apply a pretty gnarly moment load to the seat post.
