You might try one of these floor mounts:

A couple of companies make similar, with varying "holders" at the top end.
You loosen the front seat rail bolt, passenger side, slide the mounting foot under it, tighten it back down. Now you've got a rugged gooseneck stalk that can hold pretty much anything up in front of the dash. And no, it really doesn't impose on the passenger either.

You might want to try one of the iOttie vent clips in the future. I picked up the magnetic version after hearing all the praise and awesome reviews here in the forums. It's a great way to have a spot for your phone without any potential damage to the car.
iOttie iOttie iTap Magnetic Air Vent Mount for iPhone 6/6 Plus/5s/5c, Galaxy Note 4/3, Galaxy S6/ S6 Edge/5/4
Fingers crossed your spot is just an indention and disappears!

I had a rubber mat to hold my toll reader in place on the dash. It left a mark that wouldn't clean no matter what I tried. In time, the sun faded the mark so that it's barely visible now. If time doesn't help, I would think a good auto upholstery shop could apply some matching dye to the ring to blend it away. You don't need a new dash.

But with those little vent clips you have to stick a magnet on your phone or phone case which means they dont sit well on a desk etc. These one are magnet free...
Kenu Airframe - Kenu (for phones)
Kenu Airframe+ - Kenu (for phablets)
You can even get copies from aliexpress for a couple of dollars.
I've been using an original airframe in my SQ5 airvent with my iphone for a few months now. Works like a charm!

Have you tried a Magic Eraser on this spot? My wife manages to get her makeup on everything...NOTHING gets it off the interior of her rides except for those little things.
