I've recently replaced my beam with an arc. Sounds awesome. The arc sits on the front of my tv stand which is aprox 46cm wide. The arc feels like it's well supported, but there is a slight gap either side. I was wondering..will this affect the sound even if the arc feels secure on the stand?
It shouldn’t affect the audio. As long as you don’t block the drivers on the front, top, or sides of the Arc, you should be fine. But it looks like the right side driver is being partially blocked by the wall.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, my arc does sit close to the side walls. I have no other choice at the moment. Hopefully one day I can wall mount it. Their is a 6 1/2 inc gap in the left and 3 inches on the right.

Sonos recommends keeping both ends of the Arc at least 1 foot from a wall or other obstruction.
My Arc setup is horrible, but it still sounds good to me after a round of TruePlay.
I have my Arc on short (about an inch) stands to get it to clear the TV stand base and I’m not noticing any issues.
Mine is also mounted in a corner of two stub walls, a little too close to each and one stub extends about 3” and the other about 12” past the front of the Arc.
Your set up looks great. Apparently it's better to have the arc right up to the edge of the stand so the sound isn't obstructed. I did this after watching the peter lee video on YouTube. Can someone confirm this is necessary? If yes, how forward does the arc need to be? Should it overhang slightly? I have also put some spacers underneath the arc to keep it more stable. I would recommend the govee immersion kit. I recently installed it. It's fantastic for the price.

I would add the govee immersion camera kit. Would look great in your set up.
I’ve fooled with various back-light systems in the past and none of them impressed me enough to keep them installed.
I’d put the Arc as close to the front edge as I was comfortable with to avoid reflections off the cabinet. I don’t think an inch or even two is going to make an audible difference but trust your own ears.
