Testament to poor planning

I've gone and constructed myself into a bind here.   I've mounted my TV about 4 inches back from the slanted edges of the front of the cabinet...figured the monitor would be inset a little.  No problem there.  It's at the same angle as the MDF.  Problem is, the cp I've made is just a normal rectangle, so there's like an 8-inch gap from the back of my cp to where the bezel glass comes down to the bottom.  Oops.

How can I fix this without redesigning my cp (it extends off the sides of the cab)...?  Can I mount the smoked plexi flush with the sides and have a 4-inch gap btwn. the tinted plexi and the TV?  Or should I try to re-adjust the TV shelf so that it's pushed right up front?  Or should I leave the TV and glass as-is and add an extra wood shelf extending from the back of the CP over to the glass?  Yeah, I know... :P  The pitfalls of building from scratch...

Pics? Trying to visualize what you're talking about is impossible if you want a useful answer.

mushmouth, let me try to clarify, since I can't take pics now:  the TV is angled like in a MK cab, about 15 degrees...I inset the Tv about 4 inches into the cab...problem is, if I mount the smoked plexi bezel right against the TV, it won't make contact with the back of my cp, leaving a big ol' gap between the cp back and the bezel...make sense?

Can you put some admin buttons there on a board in the gap between the two? I am not sure how it would butt up against your cp but maybe you could figure something out. Good luck.

Trying to envision it myself still is the big old gap horizontal or vertical ?   I would probably just stick a board in the gap and cover it with black vinyl or something (or even put admin buttons up there...)
