The LED with the fibers was to small for useful photos.
I put paper on the table, put the LED on the paper and aligned the fibers to the front of the LED. Next came several layers of industry CA glue and filler (a white powder). Each layer was ready within 30 seconds. The outcome looked awful like a nugget but it is later not visible and works. That "nugget" has a bottom of paper. Do not forget the paper or you have to fit the desk in the shell
The modern LED are so powerful that even a lousy optical connection is no a real problem.
Schwanheimer has web page in English language. That might be helpful.
