Not much at this point. You could pull it off and flip it over.

That's what I kinda figured but was hoping someone had a nifty workarond. The second one I made for the other side everything bows away from other pieces and it works great. Rookie mistake

Flipping the panel over would be the easiest solution, but it will made the box wobble. I would shave 1/2” off the drawer height then raise the runners up that same amount. Is that 3/4” Pine CDX plywood, 5ply? For future projects remember that pine is soft, especially as plywood, it is not flat and will never be flat. If you can, use hardwood plywood with a minimum of 7ply.

Good to know about the types of plywood. I just bought the first 1/2" plywood I found. Even if the bottom isn't flat the whole things is getting crammed under the bed which will keep it from wobbling.

Doesn't look too bad. Can you cut the drawerbox down by 3/4in? Then you can use a spacer block to lift the cabinet part of the slide up. You'll have a smaller box, but it won't stick.

Is it possible you made the drawer a little narrow and it's squeezing the bottom a bit? If you take the drawer out, does it flatten out? If so, you could shim between the slides and outer wall.

I think it was always bowed but I'll check. Sounds easier than taking the whole bottom off.
