bring out corner base unit 2cm on the corner to match next run of base units at 600

All flatpack which i've built up and realized the 1000 base unit next to the 925 corner unit is about 2cm to long, no problem I thought i'll cut it off the back panel of the corner cabinet that secures it to the wall, fitted it in place happy days, then realized that because I've cut the back it will 2cm deeper than the next run of 600 base units doh! What's the easiest way to rectify this? I was thinking maybe cut 2cm off the end that joins the 1000 base unit bringing the corner unit back inline to be positioned next to a 600 unit. But then I realized the doors won't fit, i'm struggling to think of a solution without having to order smaller doors and to maybe put in an infill panel. Any guidance would be much appreciated before the wife comes back and bollocks me for not letting a kitchen fitter fit it! It doesn't allow me to respond to questions unfortunately, but it's a wickes flatpack, I was thinking it might be easier for me just to take a couple of cm off the back of the cabinets from the next row, I don't think it would be that noticeable. Yes there’s limited options with wickes, I do have a corner fillet for the other corner but it’s 1000, the one I’ve fitted is 925, shaved down to 923.5ish, I’m going to try and really get the 1000 right to wall as possible and get the 925 attached and force it out as much as possible to minimise the difference, out of the 2 options I think cutting 1-2cm from the overhang of the back of 3 cabinets will be easier than reducing the size of the 1000 unit, as the 1000 unit is for the sink, it’ll be quite on show, having a 400/500 door, making adjustments for the Dowelings/click clack locking screw nut thing etc, lack of Carpentery skills etc. My original plan was to maximise the space to fit as much cabinet space as possible, knowing I’d have to adapt the corner unit, I always thought I could cut off the back without giving the depth of the next run of cabinets a second thought, only now it’s in front of me I realise! I think if the worktop overhang is too much I could cut it down a bit, planning to do tiles or upstand above worktop so that should hide any untidy cuts, so far I’ve used a handsaw, I guess I better buy an electric saw of some kind to do the rest of cuts. Thanks for your help so far by the way much appreciated, I know a lot of people would of said should of hired a fitter which wouldn’t of been helpful.
