You could try draining the skimmer into a piece of PVC 2-3" dia. sitting on end with holes drilled in the side near the bottom. It used to work for me to reduce overflow return bubbles.

I would cut baffles and wrap the 3 sides with foam or filter floss, etc. to wedge them in place. I have done this before, and it works well until the next time you have your sump apart to silicone them. It is also a great way to experiment with the baffle placement.
If you have any eggcrate, you can use it as spacers and glue the 3 baffles together (spaced evenly with the eggcrate spacers) and drop the whole unit into your sump and drop a rock, etc. behind it to stop it from moving.
