I have tried the rods mounting on top of the rack, but that doesn't work , and I have tried mounting from both sides of the eyelets on the seat stay.

Have you tried moving the stays inward and then attaching to the inside of the eyelets? The mounting hardware on the Cargo can be moved around a whole lot.

If that doesn't work, call Wayne at The Touring Store. Tubus sells different rack stays that are made for your problem. Look for these
