Question Internal Drum Lighting / Diffusion

I've fabricated and installed some light bars to go inside the shells of my acrylic drum kit. Currently utilizing parchment paper for diffusion that I painstakingly cut and installed underneath the hardware on the inside of the drum.

The parchment is doing a pretty good job at diffusion, but it isn't perfect. There are some minor wrinkles that aren't noticeable unless inspected closely.

Wondering what the community thinks, A, and B, I want to consider different materials. Preferably something cut to spec so I can remove and install it easily. Hoping to have a discussion about the process and options. Thanks!

You could hit the unside of the shell with steel wool or sandpaper but obviously that would be permanent
