Having another look at The Sky X Pro, I think the Quasar is located at:

RA (2000.0): 05h 29m 15.8061s
Dec (2000.0): -43° 51' 52.057"

Magnitude: 16.34

Catalog Identifier: 4805630493655815040

Thanks Dennis!

That DR3 identifier is correct.

The discovery paper cites :-
J0529-4351 as Gaia DR3 SOURCE_ID 4805630493655815040

RA 82.3159 Dec -43.8645 J2000
Which indeed is RA 05:29:15.8 Dec -43:51:52

which is the same as you report
