I don't mean to sound dumb, but I'm not sure what bar backs are? Are you talking about rear set risers?
My guess is that is what you are speaking of, and I don't know for sure, but I suspect there are such rear sets on the market that will work, but are not necessarily marketed as MGX 21 bar backs.

I think the MGX uses the same handlebar setup as the Audace. Simple answer, no. What year MGX? 2017 and later bars have a little more rearward position because those curve a little more to the rear and are more comfortable. Another way would be to heat them, bend them to desired position and repaint or powder coat.
Best picture I have, no longer have the bike or I could take more detailed pictures. Kinda shows the setup of the bars. They bolt to the triple clamp with bolts from underneath. A very unique way of doing things. I don't know if the California or Eldorado uses the same setup or not but I doubt it. I know of one guy who bent his and another guy who put spacers under his to get the bars up higher. I could be all wet but I believe the MGX is an Audace with 21" front wheel, bags and fairing added.

Kind of like a busboy, they keep the beer chests, kegs and liquor shelves full.

The MGX bars don't look like the Audace.
