The picture is cables of the PSU that aren't getting used and I've tied together and tied to side of dvd drive bay 

Oh yeah that's no problem. The cables are insulated, so don't harm the DVD drive at all.

Can you show a picture? I don't really understand your description of the cables at the DVD drive.

Yeah in the past i've often managed cables away kind of like this, when the case has no room in the back.

Just gotta bunch up all the cables, wrap them together and make sure they don't move anymore. Just make sure you don't put strain on the cables on the DVD drive/hard drive.
