I'd like to install a snow plow attachment to my 2022 CForce 500. The CFmoto accessory catalog shows this part number 9DSV-804100-6000 for Plow Mount. https://cfmotousaparts.com/product/plow-mount-c600-cfmoto-oem-9dsv-804100-6000/  But the description doesn't say anything about the 500.

Has anyone installed one of these on the new 500 or have any additional details?

It is simple to mount a "ready-made" snowplow mount, not rocket science. 
There are 4 sets of holes for mounting "U-Bolts" to fir different width bottom frames.  The deciding factor to use the mount that you selected is "Will it fit the Plow Push-Tube Mounting Position"?  By that I mean where pins holding the push-tube to the mounting bracket on bottom of machine.

The pins should be 3/8" Grade 8 minimum size/strength, my opinion.  It looks like that mount just has a "hook end" to fit the push-tubes.  Not a great design, a hook can pop up and out.  Farm supply stores have pins with a 1/2 circle locking bale, all Grade 8, that do not fail or bend.

Go here to see how I made a complete mount for an older "used" plow, no brackets, etc:

Also:  Remember that plowing snow is tough work on ATV.  Use Low-Range on level or up-hill plowing, MAYBE High-Range on downhill easier plowing.  Keep track of "Plow Time", and be prepared to change oil/filter after 16 hours of Plow Time. 

Be careful removing panel to get to filter, the snap knobs break easily.  You also need to have a plastic jar, cut lengthwise in half to act as a 1/2 funnel to keep oil from running out of filter housing and onto the plastic skid plates.  CFM doesn't provide a 1/2 funnel like some other brands do.  It is a PITA to have dripping oil for a week or so until it is all gone.  Just guess how I know about these 2 "quirks" of oil change....

YMMV

Yes, I've seen the generic mounts. However, my first choice is a CFmoto one designed for my ATV.

I ordered a snow plow from KTM and came with a mounting plate designed to fit my 600, no drilling no u bolts. I'd check them for your 500.
