Type AC cable must be connected to the panel for grounding continuity along with strain relief and protection.

The 30" can start at one edge of the panel, as long as you have 30" total space, although given a choice I would like it centered on the panel.

Oh this looks like a Main Panel (it better be the bonding jumper is installed) which means the GEC should be on the neutral bar and the circuit grounds can be on there too.

If this is a sub panel it is all goofed up.
