Nicely done. And no boom!

It's convenient that the right side of the stove is open because the doorway is there. Easier to gain access as you are doing the install. Our stove is in a pocket between two cabinets, so you need to lie on the counter and reach down with long arms to do anything with the gas. And you want someone holding you feet so you don't fall in back there behind the stove.

Is there a "back splash" to the stove behind the burners? It doesn't look like it. Looks like it's bare wall behind those rear burners. You might consider getting a piece of sheet stainless steel and screwing it to the wall for some fire protection and to be an easily washable surface when the bacon is splattering all over the place. Maybe you can remove a side panel from the old stove and use that for a back splash.

Looks like a really well done job.
