Iris installer not working with Linux flatpak

What happened?
Iris installer installs to wrong .minecraft directory.
When using the flatpak version of Minecraft on Linux the .minecraft folder is in the following path due to flatpak sandboxing:
~/.var/app/com.mojang.Minecraft/.minecraft
However Iris installer will always try to install to ~/.minecraft no matter what directory is choosen in the install dialog.

Additional context
GUI Installer says installation completed but versions can not be found in launcher because of the wrong path.
I am using openjdk 19.0.2 2023-01-17 on my Ubuntu machine and openjdk 21 2023-09-19 on Arch Linux.
I also found a possible workaround that solves the problem:
Create a symlink to ~/.var/app/com.mojang.Minecraft/.minecraft at ~/.minecraft. After doing this it was installed in the right directory with no further issues and I was able to play just fine. :)
