Giant Wald basket mounting best practice?

Hi folks. Recently bought the Wald Giant Delivery basket for the front of my commuter bike (aluminium 6061 Raleigh Strada City). However, the supplied mounting equipment and my bike’s geometry means it sits way too high when mounted mid-fork…so I need to modify the install a little. I’ve got a few options and I’d appreciate guidance.

Note that fork has both dropout and mid fork mounting points.
