Explanation:
Pelo contexto, entendo que o trecho "polish trophies and right-size plaques" deveria ter uma interpretação mais metafórica, como um momento de aceitação do reconhecimento.

Minha sugestão é de uma tradução mais livre com "right-size plaques" como "condecorações" ou até mesmo como "medalhas", formas mais comuns no português (BR) para transmitir essa mesma ideia.
