Topeak also sells a

I also have a medium sized aero-wedge which I don't use because it's sort of more room than I need but also because it gets scrunched up when mounted.
Or you might want to try the
F33 bracket which is actually meant for sprung saddles but may work for you too. It positions the pack more vertically but negates use of the forward securing Velcro loop.
I had it mounted all the way back, similar to your photo. I saw the two other quick release mounts and the racing mount may be what I need as it puts the clip further in the back. I think I'm in a similar position as you because the medium wedge seems to be more room than I really need. I've got it down to a spare tube, Alien II multi-tool and patch kit for what I wanted to carry.
On weekend rides I figure I could just use a trunk bag since I've got a rack attached now if I planned to stop somewhere for a snack, etc.
