I guess I'm looking for another mount that puts the 1040 on top and the headlight below. Am wondering if there are options besides that Garmin headlight.

Just cut the tape holding the brake hose so you can install the light mount. Will not affect the brakes.

Or get one of these, its designed to install a light or GoPro under the Garmin. There are others on Amazon, just search a bit
