Hello everyone,
I have assembled the Metod frame ME/MA 146. I’m currently struggling with installing the drawers. They are the correct drawers, but they don’t fit properly; they stick out at the top. I don’t know what I did wrong. I can’t push them in any tighter or deeper. See the picture. The parts list provided by Ikea is also included.
Can someone help me with this? Thank you very much!
Catalog page with drawer furniture: base and inner drawers in white, various sizes.

Drawer cabinet with three blue drawers on the right and brown side panel on the left.

This is probably a common issue: the bottom drawer is installed differently than the others. The drawer slides are attached using a different set of holes. The instruction manual includes a separate page for this.

@Bertram100 has pointed out the very common source of errors.

Yep, the rails simply have too many holes. The wrong ones were used. As a result, everything is shifted one hole pattern higher.
