I got some of these racks from Wicked Brick and I have more on the way. I mean
to get my collection actually organized. But I hit a snag. Minifigs with flippers
won't fit on studs and they don't stand up very well anyway. My first
thought was that there would be an adapter on the market, but a cursory search
turned up nothing. So my second thought was that either someone here would know
where to look for that or that someone would've come up with a brick built
solution. Can someone help me out?

This is clearly fake, unless you can find a Lego logo on it somewhere.

I seem to remember somehow a minifig can hold the two flippers in its hand if
they are back-to-back.
