Get yourself a gooseneck mount. That will attach to the carry handle and provide you a mounting rail out in front of the carry handle at a lower height to put the Aimpoint on. This type of setup also allows you to co-witness the iron sights. Most places that carry the Aimpoint also have the goosneck mounts. There are several brands to choose from, so find the one that best suits you.

I think the closer you can mount it to the barrel, the more accurate a sight will be. Lots of guys like to mount the aimpoint a little higher to get it to co-witness. I've seen some mount them on top the carry handle but that's too high for me.
If you don't have a removable carry handle, I'd go with what Charging_Handle is saying. |

I know that optics on carryhandles are generally teh sux, but I like my aimpoint sitting on a ARMS #16. Nice setup for short distance shooting, and I despise having irons in the aimpoints FOV, as a gooseneck puts it.

The irons are already 2 1/2" above the boreline making clearing the muzzle fun. Adding to that does NOTHING for me.
To each his own. |

Do yourself a favor. Swap your A2 uper for a flattop upper. Probably won't cost you much at all. If you still want regular 'ol irons sights, buy a Carry Handle in the EE on the cheap.
Mount your optic on the flattop upper. |

looks like 50/50. I would rather not co witness with the irons. I have thought about the flat top, but like the fixed iron stights.

If you go the carry handle route go with the ARMS # 16A. I have one on my bushy A2 and its rock solid.
