If you're saying that in that position the bag shouldn't move at all, even when applying some force to the side of the bag, then maybe the springs aren't applying enough force to the cams to lock the bag in place?

I might take this up with Arkel directly, just in case my Bug is faulty, though I'm pretty sure it isn't. There's no problem mounting it on the rack, just that it moves forward with the bungee hook attached.

Thanks for your ongoing help and patience.
It's easy to get the webbing that ties into the cams messed up if you use the release handle as a carrying handle. Then the cams don't operate correctly.
