Blocking wind port

I got my Powerpod delivered today. And it was raining hard when I finally had time to do a first ride. So that has to wait till tomorrow.
That gave me time to see if I could install it on my mountainbike. On the roadbike it was easy to find a good place on the handlebars to mount it.

But on the mountainbike that is a lot harder with all the cables and hoses for shifting, brakes and dropperpost.
Does the windport have to have a completely clear "view" or is it good enough if it can peak between the cables.
I can understand that that could mess up the airflow but I'm not sure how bad that will be for measuring the actual wind speed.

I don't think a combo mount will be long enough to get in front of the cables.

This is what it looks like now from the front.

As you have them positioned, your wind port is not blocked by the cables.
