If you are not using a Deskpi Pro and want a clean build there are a few parts you can use to clean up your build. Surface mount USB/3.5mm audio connector sorry I lost the link retail $20 CDN, USB-C internal connector showed in this video approximately $15 CDN, External HDMI connector $15-20 CDN

In my case I found using the DeskPi Pro was more econnomical and resolved the issue of the wide open whole in the rear of the case.
