Remodeling bar area into side kitchen. Installing kitchen cabinets but really tight fit.

Ignore the new drywall, I just finished redoing the plumbing and electricity around the previous owners “hidden” water damage. It was hidden behind a “bar” and it had multiple open holes. This area is 104” long. I am installing 5 cabinets with a butcher block top and a deep sink. I want the sink to match up with the window so I ordered cabinets in the below order from left to right. 20” high pantry (2”filler 18” pantry) , 12” 1 door cabinet, 30” 2 door cabinet, 30” 2door cabinet w/sink, 12” 1 door cabinet. The plan is having the four cabinets look really identical and under the butchers block with the pantry covering the space at the end. The issue is that the wall on the right is not square and appears to be thick from being patched poorly before. If I use filler then my sink won’t line up with my window and will look bad. Is it ok to use caulking or some kind of other material to make the 12”cabinet look good against the wall? Do cabinets settle at all? Like do I need to leave any extra room to prevent damage? Never installed cabinets before but please advise because I already purchased the build it yourself cabinets with that configuration. submitted by /u/Bearded_Lyons [link] [comments]
