Sorry for the delayed response.
That mount didn’t make me change my grip at all to push the tail cap. But, my grip at the time was to have my four fingers pulling back on the vertical mount and my thumb pointed forward and going up the ramp of the light mount. This grip required me to barely move my thumb forward to hit the tail cap and I didn’t (and still generally don’t) do the momentary activation thing. Just turn it on, do whatever, turn it off.
I really like that it gets the light up high and close to the bore as I found, for me at least, that there was way less barrel shadow when searching a building than when I’ve had prior lights mounted to either side or below the hand guard.
Full disclosure: my primary work rifle has a 13” rail with a protach-hlx rail mount at 1 o’clock with a momentary/constant tape switch at 12 o’clock behind my front flip sight. I do really prefer this set-up as I can drive the gun from target to target much faster and more precisely. But, my grip has now changed to my thumb-over and my index finger running along the 9 o’clock rail pointing the sane direction as the muzzle. I still have a vertical grip way out toward the front, but that’s used for positional and barricade shooting.
Short story: I ditched the set-up in my pictures above when I bought my 6920 and modified it.
Sorry if that was way more information than was requested/needed.
YMMV.
Does Battle Comp even carry them anymore?

The Mossie is my preferred mount for this application, they work especially well with the SL MOE handguard.
IWC is my next choice.
Gettin' down innagrass.
Let's Go Brandon!

I tell ya what worked for me, strangely, was a simple shotgun barrel/extended tube clamp. I clamped one end right in front of the FSP and clamped the other on an old G2 flashlight. Great, low-profile option for 11:00 or 1:00, hasn’t given me any trouble for the years I’ve used it.
I've used Yankee Hill 45* offset and now Magpul Offset aluminum M-Lok. Works really well.
