Aspiring bike packer. Just had some panniers fitted, I think pretty badly. The arms on there at the moment have no give at all. I've no idea how to fix it. Would getting some new, longer, and flexible arms be the fix here? No chance its supposed to sit this far forward and wonky 😂
Any help is appreciated! Excited to get this new bike up and running.

If you’re wanting to run panniers I think you will want the rack platform to be parallel with the ground. Longer ‘arms’ would achieve this.
Rack should be horizontal. Your frame is odd, you should look for a rack that’s pictured to fit on this geometry. Could also go for something like the Ortlieb Quick Rack which attaches to the seat post.
Define “no give”.
Looks like you have two sets of mounting holes in the pannier, and you’ve used the set towards the middle. Are the holes closer to the saddle usable? That might not be enough, but it would change the angle in a positive way if those are mounting holes.
