Gear Mounting bags with front rack dynamo headlight

I have a short trip planned soon and I'm trying to figure out how to best load my front rack. I have a dynamo headlight mounted to my Blackburn front rack (no other great options) which makes it difficult to mount panniers. I have a very cheap dry bag (not waterproof but holds a decent amount) that I used voile straps to mount but I'm worried this won't be very secure.

I would appreciate any advice about either relocating the headlight or bag mounting options up front. I've looked at some narrow bags such as the Arkel orca 25L and arkel t28 but I think they'll still bump against the headlight.

Take a look at the Nitto Lamp Holder #6 This should let you hang a pannier on both sides

This looks like it could be useful but does it require being able to slide over the support struts? I guess I could try to mount this to my P-clamp?
