Measure the depth of the recesses in both mating parts, where the dowels are fitted. If the total recess depth of both parts, is say 16mm, you’re not going to get a 12 x 18mm dowel to fit without modifying it first.

The parts list is wrong. 12x22 doesn't fit. 12x18 is the correct size.

Yep, many things in parts lists are wrong. Don't believe everything you read  ;)
