For what it's worth, my plastic tab wasn't loose until I got run off the road. I want down on the right side and the bike flipped over, into a ditch, onto the left side. The good news for everyone with OEM bags is that they held up with the full weight and force of the bike (literally landed on the pannier). The bad news is the plastic tab came a little loose. I'll live with it.
You can also try using a pipe wrench to bend the lower mount out a little. It's easier than heating and bending the mounting brackets and helped mine a lot.
