Where to place tail-light on Yuba Mundo

I now have a Yuba Mundo, and since bringing it home late Friday night, have ridden it every day. I realize that I really need lights. I've ordered a B+M bottle dynamo, a headlight, and a tail-light, but am not sure where to mount the tail-light.
If you look at this, this, or this picture, you can see a plate under the rack for mounting a reflector or tail-light. However, with the big bags mounted and a platform on top (as is the case with mine), the placement of the plate, while out of harm's way, doesn't seem like it would be very visible. I suppose I could order a fender mounted light, but since I already ordered the other sort, do any of you have any ideas where to mount it?
I could attach a metal plate to the plate already there, so that the light would be a few inches lower, but this wouldn't help with visibility from the side. As you can see in this picture, not even the fender is really visible from the side with the bags attached.
