It was this kitAmazon
I think I might try the corksport mount soon because I had to put a rubber shim on the bracket to keep it from spinning easily.
I've used the iJDMTOY one on my 2017 Mazda 3 Sport GT. Install was easy though I had to tighten the nut behind the plate after a few months. So I just put loctite on it.

Here's the link! Hope it looks good on yours 😄
Just moved my license plate to the side on my 2018 Mazda 3 touring hatch.
Here's what I used if anyone's interested. It sticks out by an inch if you look at it from the sides though that's the only dumb part but to me it's worth.

I got 35 in the front and 20% in the back. The plate relocator is this one It doesn't block the turn signal, it attaches into the toe hook that's on the right side. It's great!
Where are you seeing $100?
The exact model you linked is at Amazon for $21.11, with free shipping and 30-day free returns.
There are lots of very similar models on eBay from as low as $11 (search for 'Mazda 3 tow hook license plate'), also with free shipping, with some sellers having sold scores and even hundreds of them, between $11 — $20.
It's not exactly a hard-to-find or high-tech accessory.
Any of them would get the job done, if that clean-grille but off-center look appeals to you.
At $24, one could say it's priced slightly above the going rate, due to the brand name.
There's a bunch of options, but for the price you can't beat this one. I had a slatted one and it sucked. There are others but few have adjustable positions. This one worked well because the location can be dialed in by using the different holes and pivoting the frame which is what I needed for my accessory grill lighting. I recommend you use loctite or a rubber washer though.
