Im a firm believer in breaking the ground not the positive on the battery. BUT in this case because of the BIM it has to be the positive.
You do have a lot of cables in there. I also had install the disconnect on the same side of the battery box as you did. Best spot closest to the ground terminals. What I found the easiest to do was move the disconnect to the other side. I didnt want to mess with the connection at the 50 amp fuse . SO the rear battery, on my rv, had the cable going to the 50 amp fuse. Removed it from the terminal, its a long cable and was coiled on top of the batteries. And attached the cable from disconnect to the battery terminal.
Once I uncoiled the cable and removed a bunch of electrical tape that was used to hold several cables together I found there was a fair amount of room to work.
I would suggest you change yours to the positive terminal. The BIM will like it better
