I’m wanting an opening to run the usb cable through so that I can still shut the drawer. Would I be ok drilling a couple of holes in the locations below to run the cable through just to hide it and gain access to closing the door?

The holes would be large enough to fish the USB connector through?

I believe the side piece that your left arrow is pointed to just pulls off then run wire behind it and bring into cup area to usb.

Yeah if I used a large enough drill bit. I could just use a USB-C cable so I wouldn't need it to be very large.

Instead of going to the left, I'd think of going forward, behind/underneath, the media screen, then make a 180 degree turn, and below that padded 'curved' trim piece ( In photo, where that wire is nearly touching.

So, no hole through your left-side- lower panel. Maybe ?
