Duplicate and move one below the frame.
On the top tube layer erase any part of the tube that is over the frame.
I placed mine so it was just below the keyboard, not much at all to erase
add new layer

I resized to 400 px width

click on background layer , add new layer
fill with gradient / colors black and #350c41 , bilinear
right click on this layer and click on add mask
open your mask , copy and paste
position and resize as you like then anchor,
hide bg layer , merge visible layers, autocrop layer
Resize to 600 px width , if this means making it larger then
you will have to click on image / fit canvas to layers
Add your copyrights
Delete the bg layer
Autocrop image , resize if needed
