I swear I just worked on a house this passed week that looked just your setup. I wish I had taken a picture!
Like you said, getting rid of excess cable is the key. Unfortunately, we didn't have access to attic, but since the longest one was about a foot too long, I was just able to push excess into the hole it came out of.
I used one of these to organize all the cables with keystones. (Mounted right below the entry point where cables come in to box)

I had a bunch of 18" cat 6 patch cords, so I rotated switch to where all my Ethernet patch cords would turn the top left corner and plugged in to the opposite port on the patch panel number (so in the end, everything was the sorta the same distance)
Velcro tape is your best friend here!
I sketched up a quick diagram of what mine looked like:

Since you have literally the same equipment, you can do something similar. Yes, power cords will be a bitch to find a clean way of organizing. I just velcro'd mine similar to sketch.
The thing where I lucked out is that cable provider was onsite doing some changes, so I asked him nicely to make me a short coax cable. It was around 12-14 inches, so I placed the cable modem where the cable was nicely orientated away from the network cables.
Good luck man.
I mean ICC makes keystone blank panels that sound like they would fit the bill? I guess I’m having trouble perfectly visualizing what you’re looking for.
How’s this?

No you can get any brand you'd like, as long as you follow the same wiring scheme of B (T568B to be exact) it will all work. You can get something like this that lets you connect a standard keystone jack into the panel.
The ones I linked are examples, you can get whatever you like and home improvement stores will have everything you need to connect them.
This video shows how to punch down the wires. The person in the video has all the specialized tools to do the job, but you can fake it with a pair of wire cutters, and the little plastic punch they include with the jacks. Be sure to trim the long gangly ends sicking out on the left and right sides of the jack once you punch them down and that any exposed copper doesn't touch.
