Default OEM rear view mirror on aftermarket windshield

Hi everyone I'm new to this forum and have recently bought a 2015 challenger sxt plus. It came with an aftermarket mirror that didn't have the uconnect microphone on it, and I really want that feature so I bought the OEM mirror online. I just got it today, but it turns out I cant mount it because, after research, the windshield is aftermarket and has the universal wedge shaped mount for the rear view mirror and not the trilobe lobe that comes on dodge OEM windshields. I tried looking online for any adapters i could use or mounting solutions but i wasn't able to, as they were all for mounting universal mirrors on the OEM windshield, not the other way around. Anyone know of any adapter or mounting method i can use to get past this?

remove the button on the glass and order the factory button and bond it to the glass. any glass shop can do this if you don't want to do it.

I would suggest having the glass shop do it...... then, if they break it, THEY get to buy you a new windshield.

After your response I've been looking for a button like that to no avail.. closest I've found is the button BMW uses since it is also a trilobe but I'm not sure if it's the same one dodge uses
