Elias really doesn't work with Harris.

Elijah or Edwin gets my vote as 1st name. Middle names are really not used, ever, so just go with a meaningful one.

Flow of 1st name and surname is most important.

If I'm purely considering how they flow, the first two options work the best. There's an awkward little gap between Elijah and Edwin because of two vowel sounds next to each other, and same for all the Spencer combinations as you either have a tiny pause, or you pronounce the R. However, if your DS mostly won't be using his full name including middle names, Spencer Harris flows just fine.

Elias is my favourite of your names but I'm not convinced it goes with Harris unfortunately.
Elijah is my second favourite and goes much better.
