You can also build something like this for the tray in front of the shifter. I did this to relocate my USB ports and mounting my dsp controller. No need for extensions for the USB port, there is plenty of wire in the console already. Wrapped in factory leather. Turned out great. Easy to do.
Is that just friction fit or did you do something to secure it down? I plan on doing something very similar and was planning on taking measurements today, unless you happen to have your measurements handy still lol

it is screwed in via two machine screws and washers through the front of the center console. The screws are below the level of the silver trim piece on the center console so they are completely hidden.
I didnt keep too many measurements as I wasnt fabricating specifically. The switch panel and relay box come in a kit (link in a previous post in this thread). I just had to adapt it to work in this truck if you want to do the same I am happy to walk you through how I wired it where I put things etc.

It isn't friction fit and does not use screws. The panel is cut slightly larger than the opening. You slide one end into the track, then the the panel lays down. Then slide it back into the other side. That takes care of the horizontal mounting, then I just push the spring loaded door to close on the new panel and hat holds it vertically. No drilling, cutting, or permanent modification.

Dimensions of panel are
10 3/16" x 3 1/2"
I tried quite a few different fits, this one is a little snug going in after wrapping with leather but it's the size you want.
Little bit of an older thread but here is what I did for my LED accessories. You can order them on eBay in two forms - one like this precut for 3 rectangle switches or no cuts and you can cut whatever holes you want in it. Uses up the useless tray slot between the shifter and cup holders.
Swarf Works makes a cool overhead switch panel that can use their own switch or modified for any switch panel of your choice. The production version, not shown in pictures, is colored matched and textured to match the overhead console.
