Orphek mounting kit & weight

[CrayHawk]

Hi everyone- wanted some input here. I put in the orphek universal mounting kit that has an Atlantik icon and three or3 bars on it.

It this too much weight - the fixture is bending a little more than I am comfortable with. Attached are pics.

Some deflection is normal. I would add another nut and bolt at the end of the slotted top rail to add more support the bottom rail. Does that make sense? I'll see if I can edit a pic.

It isn’t drilled though the mount - should I drill a new hole there to have something hold it?

That’s the exact part I am worried about.

It also may not look pretty but would a hose clamp work?

This was my fix. I will sacrifice some aesthetic for peace of mind.

Maybe reverse the bottom to the top? I don't know if possible but worth a try...
