Floodlight cam bracket - old vs. new. Please bring back the old bracket

I just had to replace a defective floodlight cam (1st gen. from 2018) which had a large round metal bracket with two posts. It installed flat and the gasket made a waterproof seal (mounted on a block that is made to provide a flat surface on siding). The new floodlight cam wired plus that was sent to replace it has a metal bar and when using the mounting screws provided, will not allow the plastic mounting bracket (yes, plastic) to sit flat on the same block. The large gap left by this new setup was difficult to seal with silicone as the gap is actually very large. Please bring back the metal mounting brackets. I am not sure if this was a cost savings but it is such a noticeable difference.
