Bracket to stop Drawer sagging/tipping

    Hi, I've an old kitchen drawer (the main cutlery drawer, so it's rather annoying) that is snagging when open, and I noticed that it's missing 2 brackets on the runner. I've not been able to locate any replacements online, and I can't swap out from existing drawers as the brackets are difficult to remove without breaking.

    I've tried installing new rollers under the drawer, but they are too wide. These runners are in the middle of the drawer and not screwed in, they appear wedged in. Not easy to remove but I didn't want to force them in case they broke.

    So my question, anybody seen a bracket like these or have any suggestions to fix? Trivial issue, but it annoys me anytime I open the drawer 😂

    In what way are they snagging or what is it snagging on, another drawer front face perhaps?

    Looks to me like what's missing is the plastic end piece to stop the drawer pulling off the rail when you draw it outwards. I don't see how that would cause an issue like you describe, though theres the chance of you pulling too hard and the drawer popping off and spilling everywhere.

    Sagging is probably not the correct word, but basically when the drawer is pulled out, it tilts downwards cause the end piece to keep it straight is missing. But I'm unable to find replacement end pieces.
