I really dislike the Chimera lasguns on their ball joints. The vehicle, imho, looks better without them. That being said, are there any bits makers that make plugs or plating to cover up the holes?

Zinge makes some small gun port hatches that look right for the job.

This is what i did. I had already installed the lasguns and started to not like how they always caught my foam trays. Just some greenstuff.

Another alternative is to replace the roof of the Chimera entirely. Blood and Skulls Industry makes this:

There's also an optional turret.

That's fantastic. I will use that for the next Chimera I get.

Stick the lasguns on the inside. Then you are left with the reverse of the ball visible and you can easily paint them as glazed vision ports. Alternatively you can hide the ports entirely by running spare track links or bundled camo netting/tarps across them.
