I typically only clamp the "walls" to the "floor" since I figure that's the thing that's most likely to come apart over time, and to help keep the floor relatively flat. Once you have enough parts installed and pinned to keep it standing upright, just add a flat weight (like a hardcover book) to the top of it to apply even pressure. This helps a lot with larger inserts since cheaper Foamcore tends to not be completely flat.
Yeah, my edges aren't always 100% perfect, I just line it up 90 degrees with the piece it is connecting to and use pins to keep it in the right position, then add glue to fill any gaps.
You can get pins at any supermarket - they're just dressmaker pins. Amazon link for reference. Just be careful as it's easy to accidentally stab yourself with them.
