Let's try this: Is the radiator centered or offset left or right? The inlet duct should be longer than the height of the radiator and the opening should be 1/6th the area. A centered duct into a centered radiator is a very direct path. If the radiator is offset to the left (for instance) and the inlet is on the right, then a longer path is available. Then all you need is to make the duct evenly divergent ...maybe turning vanes in the corners.
So the photo is sideways. So based on the photo as it is shown the front is to the right. all are drawn from top down.

The opening should be 1/6th the area of the area of the radiator? Awesome, that makes things pretty easy. I can remake this as many times as needed as Coroplast is pretty cheap in bulk.
