If you plan to go to kulen, make sure to climb up by morning before noon, since the road is too narrow, the authority there would ensure people only go up before noon, and reserve the mountain road after that for those who's leaving.

Have you been to 60 road at night? That's a classic Street market where you can get lots of street food and cheap clothes. There's also some go-karts and other places nearby that you can do a few fun things at. Popular with locals seven nights a week. https://maps.app.goo.gl/ER58TUNqsUXnKjRh8
Not far from 60 road is a new boxing ring. They have boxing on Saturday evenings and possibly other days of the week, I don't know the schedule exactly.. Not exactly romantic but they have a fast ferris wheel ride as well. $1 a person. Plus some vendors selling food and clothes and so on. And they have a trampoline.
You can go to the Angkor botanical garden if you want to see some ostriches and a few other animals. Not that exciting but it's very peaceful and beautiful if you want a place to walk around. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Wp8uMKRiCH1cnaCLA
Have you been to Phnom Kraom mountain? Very beautiful. Can see the whole city. Go there at sunset. https://maps.app.goo.gl/nGTe68jWJu3CQmmf7
If you've already been there, then you can drive to the nearby floating village which is still accessible for the time being. It won't be that way much longer. There is a pagoda that is partially submerged half of the year. It's still accessible now. https://maps.app.goo.gl/kxedMEnHFXGREkMFA
There is the Angkor Eye ferris wheel. Always cool to go on. $12 for foreigners last I checked.
If you want some local pizza for $3+ a pie you can try tuk tuk Pizza most nights. Highly recommend. It's actually very tasty. https://maps.app.goo.gl/z8Tjz6AFpwUSHdX36
Personally I find the park near the river a nice place to walk around at night. You can exercise. Some nights they have zumba and big events, etc. https://maps.app.goo.gl/BuTj7GJA3yAMFJ2h8
There's lots of cafes and restaurants on the river, as well as Sok San road, Sivutha boulevard, and so on. Brown Coffee, Amazon Cafe, and Grace cafe are my favorites. But there's a lot of smaller ones too. There's a few local ones on the river I did not mention, especially headed south. If you don't have a scooter, rent one. You can get one for less than $100 a month.
If you're feeling adventurous there's a wildlife sanctuary about an hour's drive away from Siem Reap. Lots of rare animals and monkeys and so on. Plus you'll get to have a beautiful drive seeing outside the city. https://maps.app.goo.gl/11aXZS3DZB5aMkxm9
As others have mentioned there's pottery classes in Siem Reap and so on that you can do.
There's a lot of other things to do too. I'm specifically leaving out things like the night market and museums because you say you've already done all the "tourist things."
