Outback roof rack help - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have Malone universal roof rack for Ford Fusion with square tubing and fat pool noodles for padding. When I picked up my new to me Outback I realize the bottom is not flat like my Vibe is. I did manage to use tie downs to secure it without flipping it over to sit on the gunnels. But transporting it without flipping is this ok? Do I have to flip it over or do I need to look into carriers such as Rhino-Rack or other saddles. Those Thule hella's are rather pricey and prefer not to go down that road. Thanks for the help.
