You can probably modify the clamp to work. Do you know any local machinists? Someone with a manual mill could likely take care of it in 30 minutes (just guessing). Or try it with a Dremel. Saddle clamps generally are not a super precise fit unlike seatposts, stems, handlebars, etc.

That doesn't look that bad to me. If anything, I'd just want to deepen the grooves a bit for a little more side to side support. A round file and a vise would do be all that's needed.

I think this adapter will work on any monolink seatpost.

I can not say that I did it right, because I have not yet experienced it, but it works in practice.
The bolt was longer than it was before. Now 35mm, approx, but i shall cut it after find need lenght
What I was afraid of did not happen. The edges of the plates do not crush into the carbon rails.
Only now I do not know with what effort it is necessary to twist the bolt. 6 Nm?
