EDIT: After trying a few other options (see comments) I have the answer. I'm posting it up here for to make it easier for any time travelers from the future who might stumble across this in their quest to mount their own side racks.
You have to mount them outside of the rear rack. The stock screws are not long enough so you need to buy four new screws. They all need to be 8mm x 1.25mm. Two of them should be 90mm button top; two of them 80mm socket flat head.
I asked this in the comments of some old posts but I don’t know that it had the visibility I needed so I’m making the question its own thread.
I have a 2017. It is equipped with an OEM rear luggage rack. I love that rack and want to keep it. I am also shopping for detachable side cases and the C Bow system look good (and is kinda’ the only game in town).

Anyone know if the Hepco & Becker C Bow luggage mounts are compatible with the OEM Rear Rack?
Or, as a consolation, can someone who has the C Bows on their 2017 send me various angles of how they are mounted? The photos available via a google search are limited and I can't tell how things are mounted and spaced.
Thanks!
