OP, raise the bag, get the bottom as high as the bottom of the primary or you'll be picking your stuff up off the street.
I actually like the way the bag sags, looks old school.
I've got 2 bags, the first one was a Leather Works, great bag thick leather. Scuffed the threads off the lower left corner.
Bought another bag, a Garage Leather, nice bag not as thick or hold as much and the buckle rattles, but untill I get the old one resown it'll do.

Leatherworks is the best quality I have seen.

I've owned three. A La Rosa, Leatherworks, and Garage Leather.
The La Rosa is the thinnest and looks very cheap compared to the other two.
I've been too lazy to make a new diamond plate to mount the Garage Leathers bag.
I got an axle Roto-Plate mount to replace my swingarm mount and decided to buy a Garage Leathers bag to compare since I need to make a new mount anyway.
The Garage Leather is thicker leather than the Leatherworks and cost more, but I'd give it the edge quality wise over the Leatherworks. Either is a great solo bag though.
I added a lock to the Leatherwork and will add one to the Garage Leather so a thief can't just open and steal what I'm carrying.

Once you've measured where to mount the lock, drill holes in the leather.
You can get the locks ordered to match your ignition key, but I just ordered the universal locks.
