I'd also recommend a eurobrace, except don't do it as pictured above as glass doesn't silicone to plastic trim
Remove the whole trim and do as below (glass to glass) - either one piece or 4 pieces
It'll be best done with the tank empty

Didn't even notice the trim on my photo. I just took that pick from the net

But yes remove trim clean and if you can afford it one piece would be best

Is this method too risky?

I might just try to make some light reflectors to reflect light off the plastic brace then back into the water if I can't euro brace it
