With the new dimensions for the SMD LED’s cut-out, I re-created the shape again from InkScape before importing it into EaglePCB. The only problem is that no matter what I did, there is a ‘leak’.

Back in about November 2019, after getting the first version of the Board from JLCPCB, the plan was just a matter of fine-tuning it for the next revision.
