2017 SS Convertible - Need Spoiler Options, Please

I recently ordered a 3-post spoiler from an online vendor. The ad read "fits SS, RS,..." and so on. My intention was to replace the stock SS 3-stanchion with the ZL1 1LE version (higher wing).

The problem is the stanchion base isn't wide enough to cover the holes in the trunk lid through which pass the FM antenna wires. The end-result is the spoiler bolts on just fine, but there are 1/2 inch holes near the left and right stanchions. (not to mention I don't have FM now)

Their ad did not caution against ordering for convertibles.

My question is - does anyone reading this have experience with swapping a 3-post spoiler for a more aggressive one ON THEIR VERT?

I could use advice.

p.s. I left it on for two reasons - first, they won't accept the return since I already painted it. Second, I temporarily covered the holes with a clean, waterproof solution. But...I'd rather have proper stanchions that cover the holes.

Also, I read elsewhere that I might need to upgrade to a reinforced trunk lid to avoid warping at higher speeds, since this is a lot of new downforce. If that's the case, I guess I would just get a coupe trunk lid instead of the vert. Providing it would fit, of course. Then I've solved my problem with extra antenna holes, but not solved my FM reception issue.
