I think you covered the essentials of having the return air free. That was the problem with some others I saw. This looks good, and I will be thinking of using your example also. Thank you for posting it.
Do you have a sheet metal brake that you used to make the bends in the sheet metal? If not, what did you use?
I think the only thing I would make sure of is that the area of the air output of your duct is equal to the area of the output on the grill so that there is no restriction in air flow.
