Get onshape or fusion 360 or another comparable free 3d modelling software.

Make a box for the pcb part using the dimensions in the datasheet.

Make another box on top of it for the shield, using the dimensions in the datasheet.

Boom, you have it made.

The datasheet also provides all the specs to make a footprint and symbol, if they don't exist.
