Hole spacing Ikea Utrusta/Medod and System 32

Hello everyone,
I hope I am in the right subforum, as this only indirectly relates to a "kitchen question": I want to build a shelf in my study, for which I want to use the shelves from the Metod-/Utrusta series for various reasons (among other things, I have received several shelves with a width of 80cm as a gift). For the side panels, I am using white furniture boards from the hardware store.
I have already ordered a drilling template for the System 32, where the holes for the shelf supports apparently have a distance of 37mm from the front edge. Apparently, this is different with Utrusta shelves. How should I proceed now? Can you simply clamp a strip (and if so, how thick?) between the board and the template to achieve the correct hole distance from the front edge? This seems to be, measured on a Utrusta shelf, 12.5mm (edge of the hole) or 18mm (center of the hole), correct (I don’t have a Metod cabinet)?
I would be happy to receive tips from experienced DIY builders or "Ikea hacks" with Metod parts!
Regards,
Liesepetz

Hello,
for METOD, the distances of the front two rows of holes are 20 mm and 52 mm from the cabinet edge. If you also want to install Maximera or Förvara drawers or doors from METOD, the vertical distance of the holes is also important: 50 mm.
The System 32 was largely discontinued for METOD.

Thank you for the measurements. I do not want to install any drawers, just an open shelf for folders and boxes in the study. As it looks, I will probably only be able to use the front row of holes with the drilling template. I hope that this will work with a strip of 17mm as a spacer.
