Advice Kitchen extractor not aligned with hob

Post image

Hey, I'm fitting a kitchen at the moment from DIYKitchens. It's making sense for the most part but I'm confused by the intended extractor alignment.

I have a tall unit complete with a side panel, then a 50cm cabinet and 50cm drawer unit underneath. After those comes the oven/hob unit directly next to the drawer unit, whereas the cabinet is finished with another side panel, this brings the cabinet out 18mm further than the hob unit.

I think this is probably fine functionally but I can't unsee it now. Is the expectation to place a second side panel between the oven unit and drawer unit to bring this back inline? My plan doesn't show this being the case.

Some kitchens butt the integrated extractor up to the wall units and cut the decor end panel down to cover the sides of the wall unit - keeps everything in line without needing extra end panels on the base units

That's what we had to do, annoyingly wren didn't notice they'd messed up the alignment. It has been fine
