I see there is some concern about your sock tray height ...
I have 3 x 4" socks (only equals 1 x 7") in my sump and run an Eheim 1262
My sock tray is about 1/2" below the lip of my trim, and when the mesh socks plugged up, water flowed over the baffle (1/4" below the trim) without ever going near the trim
I also don't have the water dropping into the socks, but rather just flowing through them
My socks are fully submerged and have never shifted
I don't see an issue with your sock trays being anywhere you want them
