The top chamfers are wrong because you didn't follow the dimensions in the drawing. You should have dimensioned both chamfers with the 16 x 16 dimensions, and ignore the 32 dimension.

The 40mm dimension on the drawing is the height of the center gusset.

Look closely at the 3-view drawing in your original post.

The 40mm dimension (circled in red) does not define the chamfers - it defines the height of the gusset

The chamfers are dimensioned with the two 16 mm dimensions (circled in blue)

What is the meaning of gusset? How does it look like?
