At least the aliexpress seller is willing to send a replacement for 1 cent so it can be tracked (I wasn't able to pay for the 1 cent order with paypal so I had to opt for the $1 option). I noticed yours didn't include any padding to grip the handlebar. Maybe the ability to crank down the bolt is enough for the mount to stay in place.

Personally, I got the for my other bike the out front mount that attaches to the handlebar tightening bolts. But you only have 1 stem bolt, so you couldn't use that type.
This mount did include some self-adhesive rubber pads that I didn't use. There's not much point, with all the inner tube I wrapped around the bar.

Aluminum is pretty soft; you have to be careful not to over-torque the screws in this mount, too, so you don't strip the threads.
