Need kickstand for my bike

So, I've had a bitch of a time with this bike. Particularly the kickstand. It's a Marin Eldridge Grade 2, I believe the 2020 model, and the mounting bracket for the kickstand is on the inside of the frame instead of the outside for whatever reason. As a result, I cannot find a good kickstand for it; the one that came with it had the entire base be plastic and snapped within a few months, I tried buying another aftermarket and fully metal one and had to put it on the wrong way (because I couldn't find a kickstand designed for this bike to go on the right way) and as a result the screw fell out because it would jiggle around, and the kickstand fell off, and finally I bought another one which also fell off for the same reason. So I'm a bit frustrated with this thing already. Does anyone know of a good kickstand designed for this thing? Just a metal kickstand, which can hold up the bikes weight and is designed to go on the inside. Thank you.

Okay, for some context, I made 3 sets of Japanese chopsticks very recently. I've been really excited to try them out, and wanted to try them on a really good and authentic Japanese meal. I'm thinking I'll have takoyaki as the side dish, since I think that could be really cool, but I can't really think of any good main dishes. The best I've thought up is gyudon, but I'd honestly like something a bit more fancy and special. If anyone has any suggestions for what to make, I'd be really glad to hear them. Thank you!

Yeah I know the front is a bit wonky, but... Look at the back! The back looks decent at least, right?
