A compression strap, of course, is possible if you're nimble enough. It usually covers the gaps. It would also make sense to use it on the outside of the acrylic.
You can't push the strap in too hard, it should stick to the pipe and then expand. Alternatively, you could choose a round cord that is wide enough to fill the gap well, and then tape it from the inside and paint over it.
You could also spray cartridge sealant into the gap and then treat the joint with round cord and acrylic paint to give it the look you want.
