Cut Shape Need help!

I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong. I have a piece that is bigger than my laser bed, and I have successfully cut one of these pieces already. I just don’t understand what I am doing wrong the second time. The first photo is the piece plus the rectangle shape that I want to cut.

. I select the piece then the shape and Tools and Cut Shape, then I get this

As you can see, I get a cut line on the left but it goes beyond the laser bed but the right side isn’t correct at all. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

I assume it’s the bottom horizontal line in the shape that you want to cut across the entirety of the base piece.

If so, I’d suggest enlarging the cut shape such that the horizontal line is located where it is horizontally but the rest of the shape is larger so it actually surrounds the shape rather than in-line with the shape.

The rest of your steps look fine.

Thank you so much it looks better more in line with what I thought should happen!! Not sure why I thought it had to be right on the piece, but it got stuck in my head it should be. Thank you again!
