How can I mount the fridge securely. It's going to sit on the gray plate so even if it's securely mounted to that, it's only two bolts at the front to remove the whole thing.
The case only has the four eyelets on each corner and the handles are molded.

A few of us, led by @MudRunnerTD, have utilised old rear seat frames that mount to the existing points in the car, then put the plate you show welded to the frame. This gives you an air gap under the fridge for further storage and opens up the range of mounting concepts. I would use a thimble with a threaded male extension - can get them at Bunnings for a couple of dollars each - I think the M8 units are rated at 230kg each point. Simply drill a hole in the sheet steel and bolt them in, nuts accessible as well, rather than on the floor and rubbing holes in the carpet. You should be able to buy an old crappy seat off gumtree and strip the base and back off it, @AB might be able to post up his solution, recently completed. I have platforms made for both sides of the GQ.

Here's the stand I use for my Engel. The stand connects to a mount in the floor underneath it and the shelf behind it.
I use straps through the handles which go around the frame of the strand.

And as BrissieBoy said, keep all your fuses as close to the battery as possible.
I've changed the breaker to 60 amp and 5 amp fuses in the block (charging ports)except for the console fridge 10 amp and radio 10 amp as stated in the original car fuse.

Should I bring the fuses closer to the breaker, it's about 200mm at the moment.

No. That is good solid cable and not exposed to potential damage so it is OK as is.

Yep, the thing to look out for is whether the cable between the battery and the fuse is likely to interfere with anything else and cause a short. You could have the two seperated by a mile if you know that nothing is going to cause a short along that mile of cable, or in other words, between the battery and fuse.
