I’ve seen people with these new MSR, Big Agnes, and Sea to Summit “bikepacking tents” and they do a mediocre at best job of securing themselves to handlebars.
I remember looking at the Aero handlebar setup and being tempted by it, looks like a good solid system.
I ended up getting a revelate cradle, it sits closer to the frame and the holding part is flexible, and I put both my tent and a 10l dry bag holding sleeping bag, campmat and pillow. It's secure, doesn't sag and no issues on bumpy single and double track.
So yes, there are multiple options this fellow could get and use, but he did already order that doohickey that should work.
Plus one or two extra straps should tighten the tent bag and move it away from the tire
He'll figure it out.
