In this particular case, I suppose I could just glue the handle in place below the remote fascia. Except that would take another 1/4" of access away from the compartment below/behind it.

Instead, I might inset the fascia into the mounting board, which would make it look nicer without taking extra space.

I think I'll be redoing the display mount anyway, to add some ventilation holes and tidy things up. Later. It's working well enough for the time being.

Cheers
