So I just installed a rigid fork on my 2014 Salsa El Mariachi and mounted the supernova light I had on my bars to the crown on the fork. I noticed that since the fork is angled my light is wearing the revelate sweetroll I'm running on my bars as a hat(picture below). My easiest and immediate option is to flip the light mount upside down so I can angle it away from the bag but I worry that since the little stopper on the mount would be useless from keeping the light from dipping dangerously close to the tire, should I even consider it an option? So if I just keep the set up as is, is there any potential for trouble down the line? Any and all advice is appreciated.

I am not that familiar with  Supernova lights but I have heard reports of water ingress with upside down Busch & Muller lights so maybe something to be aware of.  SJS Cycles has a lot of mounts listed on their website.  Maybe worth a look to see if you can get some ideas on an alternative way mounting.

Could you use a spare bracket in between the current bracket and the light to lower it? - http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/supernova-multimount-bracket-prod21403/

Just flip the mountthan you van angle the Mount down. The licht van betilted up tot het the right angle for a forward beam. Personally I favor a licht mounted on my handlebar over a crown mounted licht. The beam is more effectief spread on the path.
