What's the best way to put phone in the console

Hello. In my gen2 I used a bluetooth and USB adapter to put my phone in the center console while driving. In the 2020 plug-in I would like to use CarPlay. But if I plugin the phone, it either has to live in one of the cupholders, or on the Qi charger mat. But if I put it on the mat, the cable will have to "pass over" the cupholder area.

I discovered I could close the console with the phone inside without breaking the cable, but it seems like I'm fighting the design here. Is there a better way to keep the phone connected and still keep it in the console? Maybe there are flat USB -> Lightning cables that I could semi-permanently attach? Having the cable hanging about in the cupholder area is just asking for someone to spill hot coffee

 

I found a flat cable online. Temporarily(who am I kidding ) holding it in place with tape. This allows me to put the phone in the console tray, close the console lid and use CarPlay. Seems to work fine.
