If you go with a cell phone mount, I recommend looking into magnetic mounts but only if it's for a cell phone. I have used them in several of my vehicles and all you have to do is stick an adhesive metal plate to the back of your phone or phone case as with mine. Then you attach a strong magnet to your vehicle wherever you want and the magnet holds the phone in place. They work very well and aren't as bulky as ProClips.
These are exactly the ones I have bought. https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-WizGear-Universal-Swift-snap-Technology/dp/B0773F8S74/ And if you like I can take some pictures of how it works with my phone in my WK. Just let me know if you are interested.
WizGear that sticks perfectly on top of the hazard button between the vents.
This is what I use, I took off the adhesive that it comes with and got heavy duty adhesive tape (gorilla) band and used that to mount to my dash. No bouncing around or anything..

Phone mounts aren't made for specific cars, so just check out reviews and pick the best one. Your phone is likely too big/heavy for your air vent. I don't recommend air vent mounts because it means you can't use the heat unless you keep it on defrost or floor vents only because it will eventually overheat the phone and make it shut down. Also it will eventually break the vent, ask me how I know. haha
I very rarely used the mount and it still broke my vent from the phone being too heavy. I use a magnetic mount that has a 3M adhesive on the back and just position it on a flat piece of the dash where it would put the phone in my line of sight. This is what I use.
I've used these for years. No kidding they're phenomenal haha.
As badly as I want the wireless charger, being able to mount my phone like this is something I can't live without now. #Cords4Lyfe I suppose
I don't remember what brand it is but it's similar to this. I don't use mine in tablet mode, just folded up since my car is small and the dash doesn't have much space anyways. If I used the Fold 2 unfolded, it would block the entire infotainment screen as well as the hazards button and a vent. I don't think the mount will support the device unfold, either.
I use one of these in my truck with the dual screen:

Just make sure you find a good spot where the magnet doesn't interfere with the phone sensors (phone will turn off) before you affix the metal plate to the dual screen case.
Here's the Amazon US link.
It's been working for me great for over a year!
I won't lie, it's not perfect. It does sometimes move a bit. But I haven't had a problem either. Feels a bit cheap for the price, but not too bad. At least it's better than the other telescopic gamepads, and the buttons and sticks feel good.
In terms of quality and overall feel, the 8bitdo is much better. The main disadvantage being that it sometimes needs to be mounted off center depending on your phone's design. But that 3D printed adapter should improve the balance enough that being off center won't matter as much.
You might be able to jury rig something using magnetic mounts. I use a magnetic vent mount in my car and I have a thin adhesive magnet in my phone case. Maybe you could stick something like this on the flat part of your Xtander and use that.
I don't like the grabber type phone holder but I need the long neck. So, I combined 2 products.

I use a Wizgear magnetic mount. Works great, haven't had the phone come loose even during some basic offroading.
I love magnetic mounts. I have one of these on each side of the display in my '22: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0773F8S74/. The fit isn't perfect, something with a slightly smaller base may work better, but these do the job.
A few of the things I did to my '22 CX-5 Turbo that I'd highly recommend:
BlackVue DR590X-2CH Dashcam
Mengfly Car Phone Holder, but also order https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0773F8S74/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Put the WixGear magnet head onto the Mengfly mount because the Mengfly's magnet is weak. I've ordered and returned other company's variations of the mount, but they're all weak.
Sequential side view mirror signal lights. These look amazing. Best purchase yet for me, and it's easy to do.

Clear bra the front.
Husky Xact Contour Floor Mats. It covers more than the Weathertech ones do.
Pedal and foot rest cover plates.

I bought that, but found the magnet to be a little bit weak. I used this mount, but swapped the magnet with
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0773F8S74?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
and now it's perfect.
Sorry for the late reply. These are the mounts I used. I only use two and they plenty strong on normal roads.

I bought this to power the iPad and other devices simultaneously. It is adequate but I think I would like something with more output.

Personally I've used manycam / remote desktop and on the hardware side a few of these guys:

The last one is really cool it can be modded and holds at least three devices of various sizes.

I use THIS. Very happy with it. I placed it on the center display just to the left so it doesn’t interfere with seeing the display or blocking the vent.
I just ordered and “installed” this mount
I stuck it to the center bezel so I can see it easily. It holds well too.
I’ve had excellent luck using this magnetic mount for about 4-5 years:

I love these:
This is what I bought: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0773F8S74?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I use one of these, holds my V60 even in its dual screen case great: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0773F8S74?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I use this mount from Amazon with my dual screen case, no issues so far: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0773F8S74/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zYGuFb0R727VM
