Hey gang,
So I'm moving a lot of gear into SYS storage. My parts collection is a bodge of mostly Stanley boxes with a few other make/models thrown in and I want to get at least some of my things on SYS so it's easier to move stuff from shop to shop. The insane Adam Savage Knappeheide/Sortimo systems are too pricey and hard to get so I got a few SYS 1 boxes to try out.
They are a bit heavy and big for the storage volume, I can live with that for the modularity of it, but I am confused by the big orange tray needing to live by the handle. Here's what I mean:

Leftmost is a proper box, middlesome is an improperly configured box, and if you shut the lid, at rightmost, your world will crumble.
I'm making a mountain out of a molehill probably but having that section unchangeable messes with my head. Is that just how it is? Even on the Festool site, they photographed a SYS 1 that won't close:

I guess if there's a configuration your OCD just has to have, you can nibbler out some of the bins to fit next to the handle.
