How To Mount Dyno Light With Porteur Rack?

I'm hoping for ideas on how and where to mount a light like

Busch & Müller Lumotec IQ Premium Cyo Headlights - Longleaf Bicycles

on this bike



I suppose the headlight is meant to be mounted on the front brake or thereabouts. But on the bike in question, that location is blocked by the porteur rack. Fender mounting will also run afoul of the rack. Oh, I'm going to cover the porteur rack's surface with a thin sheet of aluminum, with upturned edges, to form a sort of "tray".

I'd like to hang the light off the underside of the rack, but these lights need to be right side up.

This is for a bike my daughter will take to college. So it will be locked in racks, bumped and banged some, sit out in the rain all day, etc. The reason I wanted to tuck the light up under the rack was that it might be slightly protected.

Any ideas? What would you do?
