Description
Important: this mount requires the purchase of some extra hardware. See description below for details.
This is a webcam mount that can be installed at the front centre of the Creality Ender 3 V2 printer by removing and replacing the two existing M5x8mm screws with M5x30mm screws and by using a metal Camera Hot Shoe Mount Adapter like the following one:

If you do not have two spare M5x30mm screws, consider upgrading your Ender 3 V2 with a second z-axis stepper motor kit and it will free up the original three M5x30mm screws that are used to hold the z-axis gantry.
The resulting mount is very sturdy and has a slot channel to route the webcam cable.
I chose to design this around a camera hot shoe mount so that I could have a metal screw with adjustment wheels to hold the webcam; I did not want to take the risk of having a plastic screw breaking inside the hole of the webcam.
