1) Your main (full siphon) drain can just be a vertical pipe (ideally with a strainer at the top of it), as long as it is far enough below the typical water level in the overflow. No need for elbows or anything.

2) Instead of elbows or other stuff on your secondary drain, you can use a Maggie Muffler ( maggiemuffler.com ), just at the water level you want to maintain in the overflow box. Works just like a Durso or Stockman but in a smaller package.

Did you get 90 degree elboes or street elbow? Streets are shorter
This guy wedged one in a box about the same size as yours. There are some text pointers below his video on how others helped him correct the mistakes
