A decent gooseneck mount will likely cost about the same or more as a new upper...
About the only decent solution to the carry handle optics issue was the Colt scope.

Burris and Primary Arms have good mounting systems their optics and a carry handle ARs.

The carry handle picatinny mounts from A.R.M.S. or Leupold are good, then just use the lowest profile rings you can find.
Having said that, many find the lack of cheek weld with a standard stock makes it a less than ideal set-up, and opt to add a cheek riser, pad or stock with adjustable riser, like the Magpul PRS or Luth_AR MBS.
I ran a Leupold mount on my Armalite M15A2C with an old Redfield 3-9x. I found it pretty useable. Used the A.R.M.S. mount on my 10A2C. This is an older pic, (5 of these 7 were sold/traded, and the M-15 has changed a lot), but nonetheless should give you a good idea of where optics end up sitting on an A2:
These days the M15 wears a Burris Fastfire III, as I have built rifles more appropriate for magnified optics uses.
