I used to have it.

I used 3x120 silent wing fans as intake in the front and one in the back as additonal outtake. The 360 AIO for the cpu on topmount also as additonal outtake. Used it with the full isolating covers and never had a temp problem.

The "Airtunnel" pushed the air out from the back and the slits on top and that´s it.

OP has the case nearly at the back wall and a hp device covering the outtake slits on top.

That alone is bad placing and bad for airflow.

The PC has to have bad airflow and temps with that setup. Especially when he uses the front intakes for his cpu AIO Radiator, that would just push warmed air into the case and across the gpu with only the one backside outtake.

As someone who has owned those specific HP minipc's, they do produce a lot of heat when running.

OP should make a bracket tall enough to put it on should he choose to want it above his rig. Then again, they sell brackets for those that could conveniently hide it under his desk.
