Given it is carbon clamping the frame with enough force to attach a kick stand sounds like a very bad idea , carbon is great within its design parameters but crushing force is not what it was deigned for .
I'd have thought a kickstand attached to this lightweight carbon frame would be rather odd. But if one had to, clamp it to the chainstay.

Thank you guys! Yes, I am American, and the city where I live is not too friendly to the idea of leaning the bicycle against walls.
I agree that a clamp-on kickstand is a bad idea for carbon. So just another option to consider: some merchants are selling a kickstand that can be installed between the crank and the pedal, as shown below. Does anyone have experience with such a device?

you can get kickstands that mount to the rear thru axle , not sure if they would be ok ?
