I can only seem to ft my Orteleib Quick Rack to my All City bike at the following angle. The manual says don’t go over a 30 degree angle, but I can’t imagine how that would possibly work. How bad of a problem is this setup?
Is there no way to attach it to the seat stay bridge?

Feed it (if necessary sideways) through the seat stays and attach it to the seat tube. Maybe add a bit of electrical tape to the seat tube to protect the paint. This is how I do it, works perfectly fine.

Return it and get an Axiom Streamliner. You don’t need a weird rack for a bike that lacks accessory eyelets because yours has three right there in the image.

Buy a rack that connects to those 2 silver bolts right on the bike. This will never be compatible with your setup.

Need more photos to understand.
Great how the rack seatpost attachment functions as bit of a security device for the seat.
Cant imagine why a longer strut would not fix whatever your issue is.
There are lot of potential other attachment points. You could always swap something else in, from your local bike co-op bin of parts. Sometimes we don’t have unlimited budget.

Install it on the seat tube as in this video from Ortlieb:
Most rack setups in my experience are quite jerry-rigged. For example I have a All City as well with a Specialized Pizza Rack on the front, in order to fit that rack so that it’s level I had to bend some parts in a vise and use a assortment of spacers and bolts to attach it to the fork. Lesson learned here is that you might have to manipulate some of the parts to get it to fit.

This a space horse? The mounting points near thru axle are at such an odd angle to make 99% of racks impossible to fit. I had to just take the bike to my lbs and try every one they had in stock until one had long enough vertical supports
