What is the best way to arrange the wires from the hotend?

Hi, is there a better way to arrange the hotend cables? The testprint (Prusa logo) completed fine but from the 3rd photo, you can see that the small loops created by those two thin wires in white could potentially get stuck with the printouts during printing and perhaps get torn off when the extruder moves. Any good photos of good wire arrangements for reference?

Does the EVD Heater Block V6 gets hot during printing? Can those two red Heater Cartridge wires and the two thin white wires from the extruder get burnt by touching the Heater Block?
