When installing the acrylic sheet, you could use some long standoff screws to make it stand clear of that stuff (would leave a nice gap for the fans as well).
As far as hiding the cables, would be a lot easier to move the drives like mousse_au_chocolat mentioned first, then you could cover it with just about anything. Find a piece of plastic or sheet metal (if you have an old case laying around you could harvest from that), cut to size, paint black if needed, and screw/rivet into place. Then you could use shorter standoffs (which I would recommend as opposed to mounting it flat, face to face). If you're going to cut holes for the fans, mounting flat would be fine. But you would also be wise to get some kind of screen or dust filter to put over the fans.
Grills are another (mostly cosmetic) option: https://mnpctech.com/pc-computer-cooling-fans-grills-custom/

If you can't move the drives, your only other option really is to make your own enclosure, or find something that happens to fit and figure out a way to secure it. Use your imagination! That's what modding is all about, finding creative solutions for your individual needs, (and adding some style ofc).
Example: you could also take that idea a little further: cut a few more strips of plastic/alum. to cover the spaces around the fans and make a clean, flat surface. Then cover the flat surface with some carbon fiber looking vinyl wrap (or some other texture effect), and maybe still put an acrylic panel over that as well. Kind of like this guy: https://imgur.com/a/DxpTtMd
I actually have some vinyl that was just delivered at my Amazon locker while typing this, on my way out the door right now. I have a white theme with my case + peripherals so I got a few to try out and return if I don't like something. Finally can make my monitors, speakers, etc. go along with the theme:
