Default Hold-Fast luggage rack rattles

I installed the new version of the detachable hardware on my 2019 LowRider. There does not seem to be any adjustment in the hardware and I can hear the luggage rack rattle at low speeds. It is annoying. Any suggestions for stopping the rattle on the new detachables?

"The black plastic docking point insert is elliptical. When flats on docking point are horizontal to ground, docking point fit is at its loosest. When flats are vertical, docking point fit is at its tightest."

^ +1... Directly from the installation instructions....

If the upright or rack rattles once installed, docking points must be adjusted.
1. See flats (F) in Figure 5. To adjust, rotate in small increments so that the flat is no longer horizontal and approaches position (E).
NOTE
Maximum achievable tightness are when the flats are perpendicular to the ground. At each increment, check upright or rack for fitness.
2. At each increment, check fit with accessory.
3. Continue rotation in small increments and check accessory fit until desired tightness is achieved. The tightest possible position is when the flats reach position (E).
4.Tighten docking point screws.
Torque: 28.5–37 N·m (21–27 ft-lbs)
