Hi
Not sure if this is going to help, as you seem to be already getting plenty of help. But, when I'm doing anything with perspective I use the 3d tool to draw a reference object that I can then determine the prespective for my drawing from. I then draw guides on the guide layer and they act as a reference when constructing my image.
I've attached a crude example of a drawaing of an object that follows the same perspective rules as my reference rectangle.

Sorry, I haven't got enough time to make a video. Maybe somebody else can create one.

It would appear that the offset you have on the front is what is giving you the most trouble. For better or worse I am humble submitting my xara file which is hopefully a corrected perspective and a ping of what I did. Until I manage to get the tutorial finished maybe this file will suffice. In the mean time I will try and set this up as a 2 point projection and make a mini tutorial from that. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
I must admit I am skittish about submitting this for fear that maybe I royally screwed up somewhere, but I hope this helps

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
Well my worst fears were realized. I messed up, for some reason I thought you were tapering the front in toward the center which made no sense. So here is a revision and my humble apology.
Edit: and this time I didn't make it semi-transparent to show what you had and what I did.
