Looking for headlight locating and mounting ideas

[Uncle Shish]

I've been chipping away at this Army bike build for a few years now. What I'm trying to brainstorm ideas for is a way to mount the headlight higher up so I can mount a World War II motorcycle license plate to the front fender. Currently, I think there is not enough room.
Picture shows the current state of the bike. Thanks for any ideas.

Another option I have is to mount a vintage Monark fork on here but I would still need one of these headlight/ headset mounts if anyone has one.

Can you insert a crossbar on the truss rods and mount the headlight to it? That would buy you a few inches. Would move with the fork, though. To avoid that, could you make some kind of extension or L-bracket or something from the back (stationary) side of the spring mount to bring the headlight up between the spring and the handlebar? I can't see how much depth you have, so it might have to project forward a bit.

I have mounted my light on a springer fork with home made mounts once. They kind of mimic the shape of the mounts used for triple tree forks, but have smaller diameter. They were quite easy to cut from a steel sheet with a grinder and bend.
Here are the pictures:

So it is basically just a bracket of this shape:

Heres a reflector that mounts on the stem bolt, think it came from a Schwinn. Might off some options.

That is basically what I ended up using.
