example of the problem. b4 and after ps first one is b4 and the next is after. not much difference. I think I used a black paper then white paper and photos were still terrible.

It looks like your White Balance was able to be corrected without issue.  The problem I see is that your background is too close.  Are you able to stand up the plaque, and put the background sheet further away from the plaque?  That way the background will be out of focus and less distracting.

To avoid seeing the reflection of your hand and the camera you could perhaps try turning off the room light and illuminating the plaque from the front with a desk lamp or spot light.  As long as you're in the dark, you shouldn't reflect off the glass.
