Installing straight highway pegs on the brackets means they'll be pointed straight out. If that's not what you want, and you think angled up and towards you would be better???
I did this to my pegs/brackets.

Drill small hole not much deeper than 1/8" inch in base of bracket. I wouldn't get too close to the end (for strength purposes)

On many wire stripping tools, there's screw cutting holes for trimming small screws. For this case, I used 8-32" screws.
After drilling the hole, I cut a screw and inserted in the hole. The head of the screw stays secure.

If the head of the screw is too high, remove it and grind it down at an angle for maximum contact. Once inserted, replace peg and angle bracket so pegs are facing you while in the sitting position. This little goody helps the angle of the dangle, sort of.
