I designed a bracket to hold the Flashforge LED strip to the underside of the frame.  I originally used the Flashforge provided bracket to mount the LED on the top of the frame (as it is designed to do) but once I enclosed my printer, there was no longer a space for the LED.  I used the minimal enclosure remix, so there didn't seem to be a natural spot built into the riser to hold the LED.  Since the LED strip isn't very heavy, I didn't see a need to print a bracket that runs the entire length of the strip.  2 of these (one on each end) worked fine for me, but if you want additional security, can always print a third and position it in the middle.  It's designed to not get in the way of the LED diodes themselves.

Enter these brackets.  Print 2 (or more if you like) and each one slides onto the end of the strip opposite the connector.  One on each side should suffice.  I designed each bracket to hold 2 magnets (6x3 mm), 1 on each side.  It's not a high stress part, or a moving part, so I think press fit should work fine in this use case but feel free to add a dab of glue if you're concerned.  If you don't want to use magnets, could probably use double sided tape instead.  I tried nanotape from Aliexpress on a prototype and it seemed to hold fine.  I mounted mine on the front side, above the door, below the riser.  Based on the geometry of the design, I think it's self-explanatory on where it should go, but let me know if I can explain it better.

I only used 15% inflill, because again, it's not a high stress part, so additional strength likely isn't needed.

Hope this helps.  Let me know what you think!
