I had a Husqvarna Norden 901, a Vanasche GPS mount[1] and a Maxca C5 Pro CarPlay/Android Auto display and wanted to mount them all together. The display and mount are both AMPS-compatible, but the display's mounting bracket only allows for screws to be driven into the back, and the GPS mount only allows for screws to driven in from the front. This 2-piece adapter allows for mounting the display to the mount and then joining them together. It's impractical because of its thickness (due to the thickness of the captured screw heads on each part), pushing the CarPlay display way out in front of the bike's primary display.

The part that attaches to the display reuses the flanged M3 screws that held the RAM-style ball to the back of the bracket. The part that attaches to the Vanasche mount uses M4 socket head cap screws.  Join them together with M3 nuts and screws.

The display part has built-in 0.2mm thick support; you'll need to print (at least that layer) with a 0.2mm layer height.
