I'm not sure about the wisdom of fully enclosing drives and the temperature rise looks risky.
My own problem was vibration when I installed two drives as a RAID 0.
After a fair bit of trial and error I found the solution that should be shown in the attachment. Both drives are mounted on one bracket - this is screwed to a platform which is glued to a foam base (as supplied with the drives!) - attached to the bottom of the case by velcro strips. I doubt it could survive being turned upside down but it holds everything in place when I turn the unit on its side for maintenance.
