Not a moOde-related question, but how did you make the cutout for the display? I always have to hide my ugly cuts with commercial molded bezels…if they aren’t available then something bogus like split tubing.

I marked out the rectangle on the panel, drilled a hole near a corner, and used a Jeweller's Saw to cut it out.

It takes a bit of practice, but with a fine blade you can get very accurate cuts and corners. Lots of "how-to" guides on Youtube.
I then wrapped a bit of fine sandpaper round the rectangle that I had cut out and used it as a straight edge to smooth off any rough parts.
I went over the cut edges with a black marker pen to cover the bare aluminium. This probably won't last - a bit of paint would be better.

It worked out better that I was expecting to be honest! The panel was only about 1.5mm thick, so was pretty easy to cut with a new saw blade.
