Welder's penetrate deeper!!
pic of the frame would help. First thought...king/queen with pegs on top rail.
Oh, DDog, this is a fun one.
I've found that when passenger pegs are mounted conveniently for the builder and rider, the passenger is uncomfortable.
When the pegs are mounted for passenger comfort, it's challenging for the builder, and cumbersome for the rider (ankle *klanks* during kickstart).
Now comes the demented part. What kind of relationship does the rider have (or want) with the passenger? Positioned correctly, passenger kneecaps make great armrests. Can get creative here.
FWIW, I never liked taking dudes on as passengers.

Like planting a seed. See if it takes root.

Oh, man, with the fender strut that far forward, she'll be shoving him into the tank.
Maybe design/invent a pair of swing-out pegs, that set under/parallel with and attached to the upper back tubes (below his seat). Hinge point as far forward as possible.
Or, clamp a pipe to his kneecaps...

If you redesign, and skootch her back about 4-6", then her pegs can go on the bottom frame tubes, just barely ahead of the front edge of the fender (about where that crossmember is)...
