two options:
one with an extra vertical support that slides on the side Y beam. it will keep the motor elevated, not touching the side Y beam, uses 2x m4 screws and nuts. (slots in the support part are for the m4 nuts). Makes it easy to have both motor at the exact same height without bottoming out. I have finally installed my dual Z setup with these and it's excellent, alignment was perfect.
and a simple one (the t-nuts holds it very well, I ran it in this config for a few weeks until installing dual z)
in either version there is one with the motor moved 0.25mm closer to the vertical beam, this was too close on my machine once printed, but leaving it here just in case it works for someone
This is not meant to use the screws that goes into the vertical beam, if alignment match it was accidental. Instead it's meant to use t-nuts to secure it.
I didn't have extra t-nuts so I used printed ones which worked really well: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3050607
these t-nuts are about 6mm tall, in case that matter regarding picking metal t-nuts
No support needed
I know there are other version of Z motor mount, but wanted to do all the measurement myself and make one from scratch.
I first made a version based on physical measurement, printed and tested it, then tweaked some dimension to get a better Z screw alignment with the X platform, so hopes it works on other people's machine as well.
Only tested on ender 3v2, but I assume it should work just as well on 3/pro
