I would plug them into the bottom 4 ports and route them straight down to the closest hole/grommet, so the flat side of the cable faces forward. I can imagine that routing the cable sideways would look weird. You can also get custom cables if you care that much lol.

Also, right angled connectors will make that a lot cleaner too

/shrug I like the look of an evenly curved cable as opposed to a 90 degree.
