I got this really amazing Garmin Varia mount, and I would like to add a saddleback to keep all the tools that I would like to carry on long rides. Do you guys have any suggestions of top two bags or any other saddle mounts that are small enough to fit in this space?

If it fits and the straps allow it, you can try to mount the saddle bad rotated, so that the long side points down instead of back.
You may want to switch over to this mount here instead:

Then get the Mattone saddle bag from Silca.
Very happy with that particular combo.
I’m looking into Neat Components for my next mount.
strap a toptube bag on the back of that saddle. u have a lot of space there as i can see here
When I had that mount, I used an old cut open water bottle as my tool kit.
The varia mounts from sloperoad.com are very good. I have them for varia 515 and varia 715. Hold the lights securely, look great, weigh nothing etc…worth considering.
I have the below saddle bad and it has the mount on it.

What mount is this??
You can find a saddle that has the mount where you can put any device such as light or GoPro. It’s essentially there is a threaded holes underneath the saddle, so the rail is still free for a saddle bag. The saddle that I have is an S-Works Power, but you can also find the one from Trek. I just happen to have a Specialized bike and I found it’s a very neat solution.
I recently converted to a tool wallet. Fits in middle back pocket of my jersey. I don’t notice it all. Holds a lot of stuff, especially if you can use tpu tubes.
There’s a few sellers on Etsy that have 3D printed mounts for most current seat posts. I’ve picked up mounts for my SL7 and SL8 wedge type posts. Both were excellent.
