How can I mount my dynamo headlight above the wheel without a fork crown hole?

Hi fellow cyclists!

I recently moved all my components over to this frame because my previous frame was too small for me, and I absolutely love my dynamo wheel and headlight.

Normally, the headlight mounts through the central hole in the fork crown, above the wheel. I really like this position because it gives the light some protection from damage in the event of a crash.

However, this fork doesn't have a hole there.

For now, I improvised using a small piece of plastic I had lying around, which allowed me to mount the light to one of the side holes in the fork. But I'm running out of ideas for how to properly mount the headlight above the wheel.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for a good way to mount it in that position without a central mounting hole?

Thanks in advance!

New Bike Day!

Aluminum 60 cm frameset from the local brand Show Bikes (Gravel+), running 700×45 Chaoyang gravel tires.

Built with a hydraulic 2×8 STI groupset and a (temporarily mounted) dynamo lighting setup.

Built this mainly for commuting and pretty happy with how it turned out.
