you don't really need optical bay enclosure. I went with this cable which works the same, plus allows for a little trick below, but impossible with enclosure. https://youroptibay.ru/accessories/cable...

My SSD is taped to inner part of imac's body so it does not wobble inside. -Also make sure that you stick temp sensor from optical drive to smth cool inside (in my setup its cable is not long enough to reach ssd, which was placed all the way to 3,5 HDD - see below), DVD fan speed will depend on sensor's correct placement.

Since that mini sata-sata cable is sufficiently long, you need to cut cable's SATA connector (I used a cardboard knife) in two parts right where there is plastic bridge between two groups of connectors. Power is in wider (15pin) part and you can easily cut it right in the middle of plastic bridge. [Maybe better cables can be found on market, so no need to cut it]
