i can confirm that putting two SSDs in the front outside is very hard to archive. If u use the optical drive bay, they touch the front cover and cause s small gap.
Even if you use only the SSDs with the stacking bracket and clamp it to the front, it will touch the front panel
the only way i see is to mount one in the inside and one on the outside on the optical drive bay... unfortunately, this istn possible for me because of my SATA power cable ... the SSD on the inside is to close to the case, i cant plug it in.

Try using a single 2.5" stacking bracket on the side furthest from the front panel angled bend. I think that should fit. This is something I overlooked though, unfortunately (I tested with a 15.5mm thick 2.5" drive, rather than a pair of 7mm stacked drives, neglecting to take the brackets into account), and will need to fix in a future revision.
Can you show a picture of the second problem you mention though? The inside-front 2.5" mount should fit by itself without issue.
That's the unintended mounting, though clearly it still works. Have you tried double-stacking using the ODD bracket and a single stacking bracket on the right side? You may be able to eliminate any contact with the front panel that way.
i mounted my two SSDs the same way as @knewt ... if you use the optical drive bracket and only one SSD stacking bracket on the left side, it will still create a gap. You only need to change the ODD bracket in a future revision, the SSDs must move to the right a little bit 
(if you do so, maybe you could make it available separately)
@Necere for the second "problem": it is not a problem of the case, more of the PSU SATA power connector ... it's wrong angled. You could include a woraround if the SSD on th einside would be more on the right side, where the cutout is ... i hope you understand what i mean. I assebled everything already, but if you really need a picture i can recreate the not working config tomorrow

But what about a single stacking bracket on the right side? Or is that what you meant? I understand the bracket on the left conflicts with the angled bend on the front panel, but without it the two drives might still work. Also make sure the drives are no more than 7mm thick, and you're using the more closely spaced holes on the stacking bracket.i mounted my two SSDs the same way as @knewt ... if you use the optical drive bracket and only one SSD stacking bracket on the left side, it will still create a gap.

What PSU and drive are you using that had this problem? It seems to work fine with the parts I have on hand, but there may be some variation in connectors/connector location on the drive that I haven't taken into account.@Necere for the second "problem": it is not a problem of the case, more of the PSU SATA power connector ... it's wrong angled.

sorry my fault ... i meant on the rigth side, not left. So again: 2 SSDs with the stacking bracket on the right side (so more in the middle of the case) using the holes which are closer to each other but this sandwich on the ODD bracket = gapBut what about a single stacking bracket on the right side?

and the same, but without ODD bracket = no gap
problem 2: i see what u did there .. u mounted it upside down, i mounted it with the connectors to the top
... will try your solution right after work!
I‘m very interested in a power cable that’s angled the other way as well. I was trying to find something similar on Amazon or eBay ect. but didn’t find anything that’s low profile enough.
Hell yeah! MORA3's are awesome, I have one myself... really wanting to downsize cases to an M1; I'm curious to see how you end up setting up your wiring from the M1 to the pump/fans.
Ahh, my bad! I've been following this thread on and off for a while now, and I didn't think to go back and check the first page!
Thanks
Where would be the best place to get custom cables for the v6, I'm using a corsair sf600 if that makes any difference!
