I am sorry,really not sure if its configuration is flat or conical. Expect flat conf. Personally I did not see a conical plate installed on Goodrich type of AOA ever. AI/EASA probably plays with the plates game inspired by Patrick Rayn famous book:
Private Drogue knelt in the wet and beat his head on the
ground."Dig 'em small, dig 'em big, dig 'em small again .... Now
close your eyes and I'll make 'em disappear. "

AI/EASA probably plays with the plates game
The history goes like:

original flat plate --> (A320) XL airways accident --> Change to conical plate -->(A330) EVA incident --> Revert to flat plate per EAD--> (A321) LH incident --> ?

The 'new' flat plate isn't allowed to be customized (= painted in company colors) and during A/C washing the AoA sensor should be covered by the normal AoA cover and additional by a sheet of transparent PE taped on 3 sides to the fuselage with colored tape. (leaving the bottom part non-taped) to prevent water ingress.
