Help please I'm desperate

I am just beginning my install and run into a problem. The corner base unit ( Faktum 801.395.88) goes round the corner to a sink unit ( Faktum 841.789.10) The IKEA staff advised I needed a 7cm filler between the two, but this now means the wall for my other units is not long enough by about 5cm!

I can see that without a filler, the doors on the cupboards in the angle would damage one another. Even with the filler it looks to me as though the 125° hinges will mean the door handles on each door will likely damage the other door.

I desperately need some advice..

Will the door handles damage the adjoining door?
What is the minimum filler width I need?

If it helps anyone to help me, I do have the plan on IKEA planner format.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
Martin Faktum definition Faktum is the European equivalent of Akurum ; that is, the fitted, frameless, component kitchen cabinet line, which when paired with door and drawer fronts as well as interior accessories makes up the full kitchen cabinet system.

Martin,

We would like to help! I think to be effective, we'll need some kind of visual, such as a photo, your planner thumbnails, etc.

truly sorry you're running into this.

Kelly
