Malm 4 Dresser - Wrong part for drawer?
Ended up going to the store and they exchanged the correct part. Thanks all!

I've almost finished building a malm 4 drawer dresser. I thought I was following all of the instructions well until I reached the very last drawer.
I hope I'm not losing my mind, but is it possible that Ikea provided the wrong part? I'm stuck on step 25 and 26. As you can see in the instructions (and based on how I built the other 3 drawers), the wood parts on each end of the drawer are supposed to have opposite configurations so they can be facing inward towards each other:
However, it unfortunately appears that the last two wood ends that I have are the exact same:
The only way they fit into the drawer base is like this, which won't work as the wooden lines at the top need to be facing each other:
At first I thought maybe I used the wrong wood part somewhere else, but I don't think I would have been able to build the other 3 drawers if I had done so.
Has anyone else encountered this before?
It seems Malm dressers are going to be discontinued soon, despite being one of the best selling styles of dressers. I'd be pretty disappointed if I'm not able to not get one. Are they going to be reissued perhaps?
