You can buy these brackets in any caravan accessory shop.
They are flat and do not interfere with any part of the FC.
I have pop-riveted them to the FC body but they do come with sticky pads.
By positioning them here, they are next to the opening in the canvas where the wall joins the part that folds under the bed and the cable goes inside there.

These plastic clips then attach to the metal brackets.

And finally the mast is inserted into the plastic brackets and the thumbscrews tightened to hold everything solid.

Although not shown so here, on a campsite I also, generally, have the base of the mast on the ground as well.
