I just recently got a rear rack for my commuter bike. I have a slightly older Fuji Crosstown (I think it's a 2006), and I got a Transit rear rack with panniers. I've just installed it and it tips forward a bit - the end that's near the seat post is lower than the back end. I've tried looking online to see if this is a common problem (not much luck), or if I somehow managed to get an incompatible rack. I don't think so, though - I think the issue isn't the rack, but rather where the holes are on my bike frame.

Is this an problem with hybrid frames? Is my best bet to just bend the metal pieces that attach the rack to the rear fork so that it's not so titled?
