VIS Carbon Trunk Fender Garnish doesn't fit backup cam?

Picked up a VIS Carbon Trunk that was on a 2014 car, but mine is a 2017 and has a backup camera where the car it was on didn't. The garnish piece doesn't have a cutout for the camera and losing the camera is kind of a deal breaker for me as much as i love the trunk.

Aside of rolling the dice with a Dremel or paying VIS a kings ransom and waiting 12 years for them to ship a correct piece (assuming it's even available, don't see anything on their site showing it available separately).......any ideas on how to make it work?

Does the garnish have any marking on it showing where the camera should go? I know on my 2013, there were little marks underneath the oem fender garnish showing where and at what angle the oem camera should sit at. Made cutting/drilling a ton easier.

Nothing unfortunately (see pics, the one circular hole is for the key hole)
