Mine sit on the heat shields on the R without problem too.

The ones I have got have an extra strap that goes under the seat first to stop the panniers lifting in the wind, then two main straps over the top of the seat, then one across the back of the panniers and four (yes four) heavy bungees.
I cant see how they can go anywhere if fitted properly
