Salko your clock looks great. Fit the panel as Paul shows in Episode 3 of the Wall Clock series. At the end of that video Paul is fitting the panel by planning away the back surface. Using a check block that has the same groove, keep planning and checking until the test block groove bottoms out on the panel edge. You want the panel to float freely in the grooves. The trick is to sneak up on the angle that you are planing on the back surface. Ideally you want the panel to bottom out in the groove but still just touch the front and rear edge of the groove. This allows the panel to float side-side and up-down but does no rattle front-back.
To tighten up your current panel try folding one or more shavings around the outside perimeter. Test it. Once your happy with the fit glue the shaving to the panel and let it dry. This will leave you with a panel that still floats.
Hope that makes sense and helps you in some way.
