I have been a game player forever, and you can't put the trackball close ENOUGH to the front of the panel. You are only going to smack your hand on the FRONT of the machine if you utilize some really violent method of playing Capcom Bowling and Golden Tee Golf. Even most power golf game players start a drive with their fingertips on the trackball itself. Playing where you rare back and then impact the ball is needlessly overdoing it, will tear up the trackball and cabinet, and doesn't drive any further anyway.

Forget a Happ super for a Q*Bert stick. Best stick for QBert on a wood panel (that can be had from happs) is a Universal in 4-way mode. It will have the added bonus of not requiring you drill holes at a 45 degree angle, since it just installs in a hole.

Also, your player 3 and 4 joysticks are installed incorrectly in every picture. They DO NOT GET ANGLED. Up should be the exact same direction on all 4 joysticks. Every original 4-player game ever made has up as the same direction on all 4-joysticks. Unfortunately a lot of BYOAC people have incorrectly installed them, and then defended it later, resulting in more people making that mistake. You can trust every 4-player arcade game ever made, or you can trust a small minority of weekend cabinet builders, it is up to you.

Also, related to the player 3 and 4 joys being angled. What is the point of installing a special joystick at a 45 degree angle to play qbert when you already have 2 other joysticks installed at 45 degree angles?
