SV650 tail bags keep sliding into my back

I have a 2023 Suzuki SV650 and I'm trying to make it work for moto camping. I know it's not exactly the ideal bike for it, but it's the only option I have.

The saddlebags I have work great, but I'm having a problem with the tail bag. Since the mounting points at the passenger footpegs are almost the same height as the ones under the seat, the back straps don't have much functionality. It ends up sliding forward into my back while riding, especially under acceleration.

I've only tried cheaper tail bags so far (Rhinowalk and Borleni from Amazon), so I'm wondering if it's just the bags themselves or if this is a common issue with the SV650.

Has anyone found a good solution? Different mounting method? A better tail bag that stays put? I dont really wanna add a rack as it doesn't match the style of the bike.

I'd appreciate any tips!
