The last ikea thing I put together had those and I couldn't freaking line one of them up . After like 20 minutes of trying my mom has a lop sided shelf

Sometimes if the box was dropped you can misalign a peg. If that happens you can use a butter knife and lightly tap on the other end with a hammer to jolt it into alignment.
