Take a total of one more minute undo remaining 3 connections and you could have had that fuel tank safely stored somewhere... Hope that fuel line was not still on. They crack pretty easily.
Congrats on your install.

Welcome to the forum.
I did the same with the USB power port and power plug to my detachable fairing on my King. Both are connected to the ACC plug under the seat. I didn't quite lay out my tank like that though. It was pretty full.

Jesus...check ciro phone mount off the potential list. Wtf? Seems like a huge pain to mount a phone...put that damn thing in the saddle bag. I go riding to unwind and get away from all of life's aggravation for awhile...I sure as hell don't want my phone hanging in my face. Oh and that tank...good God man take 5 extra minutes and do it right.
Ok...rant over...hey congrats on the sweet new phone mount and good job doing it yourself.

I saw how you detach the hose. Does the tank just drain when you detach it or is there some kind of closing valve in it? I wasn't sure how I could funnel it away without making a huge mess and I didn't want to get gas all over the engine.

It was a pain, but I did it the lazy way before on a previous bike and just dental flossed it into place under the tank and then zip tied it. It worked ok, but it wasn't all that secure even though I must have put six zip ties on it.
I need the wireless charger because the charge port on my phone is busted and I've got to get some more life out of it before I get a new one from work.
