I've done a 3rd concept panel around the Alpha 24mm pots and I did have to move the top row down 0.4" from my original concept to clear the large bodies. It still looks OK. There was quite a bit of blank space above so I filled it in with more text.
My Varisynth module had this same issue. I copied my FFB panel which used miniature pots. Luckly the spacing came right out at 0.5" so it fits. I've since updated my design file in case anyone else uses it.
I always print out a wireframe template and place all the parts on it to double check before I order a panel. I believe the switch has clearance as it's the same one I used for my Bi-N-Tic panel.
