You drill through the ridge with a 125mm s/steel screw.
Dry ridge systems do not lend themselves well to complex junctions like the one shown in this post.
The dry ridge suppliers will have you believe that it's a piece of cake, but they don't have to get up there and fit them!
The beauty about your previous arrangement, i.e. mortared ridge is that you are able to dictate the finished height of the ridge simply by adding more mortar. This makes life easier when dealing with ridge elevations of differing direction and pitch.
