Camera mount for LACK enclosure V2

Hello.
I'm planning to add OctoPrint (RPi4 with RPi camera V2 ) to enclosure Lack V2 (MMU2S).
1. RPi4 I'm going to skew under the enclosure table with DC2DC (24V->5V). Power supply of the Prusa also is there.
2. The camera cable I think to pass through the table . Cable length 1 meter.
3. I prefer to install the camera on static mount (not on Z axis or on the bed).
4. To setup the camera on the table or on the printer bottom looks a little difficult  : right side - zero space , left side - service area , load filament. I still didn't find ultimative buffer , which I can place inside the enclosure , but I think it will on left side of the printer. 

I will glad to see your solutions for camera mount .
I would really appreciate, if possible, a picture of the camera location and a snapshot from the camera itself.

Thank you in advance.

RE:

I created my OctoPi holder for my Prusa MINI+, but you can adapt the provided freecad/STL files to your needs (finally everything ended below Ikea Lack desk for me as well). Best idea I had was to use a soldering 3rd hand's gripper on top (30cm high) for holding Raspberry camera with led ring, allows camera up/down, and OctoPi holder allows to turn left/right:

P.S:
What I really like is borescope as 2nd nozzle camera.

Nice hall of shame example captured with that camera (both cameras are integrated in OctoPrint, see the thread how):

You can keep camera outside of plexiglas — I did that with peephole camera for watching high speed (18m/s at that time) cyclic robots in motor test station, securing camera from lost highspeed wheels+motors:

Here is sample frame from 90fps video captured, 1ms shutter time, but rolling shutter camera (these day I capture supersonic pellets inflight with 2µs duration flashes):
