Front fiber optic sight for 22/45 Lite?

I picked up an MKIV 22/45 Lite recently and I would like to replace the front sight with a fiber optic unit but I'd like to make sure I know what options are available before making a purchase?

I see that TruGlo makes a nice looking option but apparently it's technically too tall for the Lite models?

Tandemkross makes a version but they also list the same model for both the bull and Lite uppers so I'm assuming it's also too tall for the Lite model? That and I hate the billboard branding on the side.

Williams only sells complete front/rear sets and I don't want a rear FO sight.

Looks like Hiviz is the only one making a version specifically for Lite model? Doesn't look as nice as the Truglo version but may be the only "correct" option?

Am I missing any? Thank you

Tactical Solutions makes two different height fiber optic front sights for the MKIV 22/45 Lite... this is the tall one.. regards
This is the route I went, although the screw TacSol provided was the wrong size. Newer Ruger MK IV uppers (since late 2019?) are tapped for a 6-48 thread screw. The 6-40 that TacSol provides is going to cause problems if forced in. I contacted them about it but they didn’t seem very interested in a resolution. How can they NOT know about this?

I purchased a HiViz brand on Ebay.
