I have problems fitting good coverage fenders on my gravel bike. I put 50mm wide tires plus a narrow pannier rack. It leaves very little room. I ended up zip tying some spare mountain bike fender. Theres a big gap near the seat post. I found a plastic bottle solution. But it doesn’t look the best! Shame on a nice Salsa gravel bike.
How bad do you think i’ll get splashed without that plastic bottle piece?

You probably need to size down your tires, change the rack and find a set of fenders that all work together.
How much clearance is there between the tires and the seat and chain stays?
The way that rack connects to your seat stays doesn’t look like it would be friendly to fender installation.
Maybe it’s the slim rack that messing you up?
Try a full fender with a normal size rack.
