Leave the concrete to harden fully before attaching the arris rails.
Don’t buy panels that have a large number of knots or splits.
It’s easy to make a panel slightly smaller to fit an awkward gap - just cut through each part of the trellis with a handsaw and re-fix the edge piece along the cut edge.

Having worked as a fence erector previously for many years, you should never use wet mix concrete to set posts. Dry sand and gravel mixed with concrete. Suppose the wrong advise gives more work to the contractors after your readers are left with a broken fence in 12 months!
