A combo of reaction shots, terrifying imagery, and unconventional editing is the best way to handle something mind-breaking on film, I think. Look at the jailhouse scene in Salem's Lot: there's the "hey, what's that noise?" shot. Jump scare. Then you have the silent scream reaction to the truly terrifying vampire. Then shock-cut back to ANOTHER jump scare. Super effective. And I don't care for jump scares. But that worked on me, hard. (Phrasing.)
I like the idea of "not meant to fit the frame" for a cosmic monstrosity. It's not meant to be seen by puny human eyes, or understood by puny human comprehension. It shouldn't fit the frame, either.
