I'm a bit confused.

There are strips that run the length of the roof top, on the right and left side. They have some kind of lip in them, from what I can tell.

From there, I have rails that run front to rear.

Are you trying to find bars that go on top of the stock rack rails?

If you have found a different rack that will mount to the roof itself, I'd love to see it. Putting bars on the top of the rails makes the basket too high, in my opinion.
