front derailleur mount cover

hi there,
I just recently bought the R12 road bike frame from honsenbikes.com with the intention of building a lightweight gravel bike, therefore I'm using a 1x setup and do not need the front derailleur hanger. leaving the mount on the frame is out of the question (EXCESSIVE extra weight;]) so I screwed it off, which has left me with two unsightly craters aka screw holes in the frame...now my question: are there any covers I could purchase to cover those up, like this

maybe? or has anyone ever made one themself and can give me some hints? any help is greatly appreciated!

You can search on
aliexpress.com
for the key words: bicycle grommet
Prepare for a zillions of choices
Another option I did sometimes is to put M5 PVC screws( verify if your size is not M4 ) to plug the holes.

thanks, but that's not exactly what I am looking for
my plan is to cover up the whole recessed part of the frame:
