I understand your dilemma, but the point of the teacher rec is that it’s an academic one, about your ability in the highest level courses you’ve done to date. You’re right that it should be one from a STEM teacher, though, because you’re applying for a STEM subject. I’m not sure if the college prof would work as he/ she isn’t at your school - I think perhaps an e-mail to the colleges you’re applying to might be worthwhile as this is a relatively unusual situation. Were the classes a Dual Enrolment, and so part of your HS record? that might make it easier.
