where to mount lights? new bar bag in the way

whats up everyone, I hope all is well.

Its that time of year again its dark in the morning Time for lights

I have a homegrown set up that works great, But I also bought a new bar bag at the end of last season

its an Ortlieb thats mounted on a second stem . The bag sits just a wee bit Above the bar so it blocks the lights.

I mounted my lights on the fork blades last november , I did not have any adapters so I used "C" clips it was a Royal pain to mount(they kept sliding around) , I mounted the 10W on the left blade and the 20 watt on the right blade. not the greatest place but it worked ok .

I need to do a better setup this year so im wondering what you would all advise

1) buy some fork adapters (minoura or ?) mount lights back on the blades (maybe both on one side?)

2) modify my ortlieb bar bag with mounts of some sort similar to caradice ? Rather not put holes in bag though.

3) Minoura swing grip

Your thoughts please.

Also some words of wizdom please I havnt been riding since May I injured both feet in MAY ,broke my right foot with a plantar tear as well , cast came off in early august but I tore my plantar tendon agian (OUCH) , I also tore some tissue in my left foot in may and its just starting to feel good months later..

that said Im trying to get into mindset to get riding again I just cant seem to get going in morning!!!
fine time to start riding again when its cold. one good note I can ride in, take bus home all the buses in my area have bike racks now.

MANY THANKS AND HAPPY SPINNING
