My solution mounts the phone a bit up and out of the way more, and also has a much smaller contact patch with any of the visible leather pieces but does require that you remove the knee pad to fit it (pop out the shifter surround and unscrew two screws to remove this panel). Other than that it's friction fit and holds extremely securely. I've built it around a cheap phone mount that normally clips into an air vent so this is really just an adapter for the mount that makes it very small, out of the way and stable (No affiliation, just like the mount and the price is right

I'm not trying to sell them or anything, just wanted something for my personal use and thought I'd share the design if anyone wanted to try to replicate it on their car. I'm at work right now, but as soon as I can get the file uploaded to thingiverse.com I'll post a link here if anyone wants to try to print it and let me know how/if it works for you.
