My mount might be overkill but this is what I did...
I sacrificed the handle-bar mount that comes with the camera for the base that the camera clicks into. I then notched it to match the "bumps" on the rails attached to the shroud. Then (with the flatline disassembled) I drilled through the rails and the shroud housing. Using a short bolt, I used the existing bolt hole in the base, and bolted the assembly together and used a nylon nut to prevent vibration etc from rattling it loose. Without the rails... It might be difficult to keep the "base" from twisting. The catch is getting something to hold the nut on the inside to keep it from turning with the bolt. My shroud is littered with holes that I was able to get a nut-driver through to hold it steady.
That may be more than you want to do to your flatline shroud but it is solid as a rock.

SuperOX makes some good points too. A gun-cam alone gives you a lot of ground-shots but the action is fun
I found it is difficult to mount a camera on TOP of a goggle that isn't a "full head" goggle - although this makes for the best footage. If you mount on your marker side - you usually end up watching the rear end of your hopper and marker. On the other side it is hard to keep the action in-frame. OR, you have to have such a wide angle on your lens that you can't see the target(s). There are trade-offs to each approach.
In the screen-shot, the "main" picture you see is from a bullet camera - not the SD based Action Cam in your the original post.
